How to Fix a Broken Ecosystem

The video discusses the resilience of nature and how ecosystems can recover with minimal intervention. It introduces metrics for ecosystem health: biomass, necromass, and biodiversity. The video explains methods to stimulate ecosystem recovery, such as soil stabilization and planting pioneer species. It covers ecological succession, climax communities, and the impact of agriculture on ecosystems. Novel ecosystems, formed by human impact, are also discussed. Finally, the video presents the seed ball method for large-scale restoration, highlighting its potential for ecosystem recovery.
