Résumé : This chapter uses the CICES framework to review results from studies on forest restoration's effects on ecosystem services (ES), focusing on biodiversity, nutrient cycling, water cycling, and provisioning and cultural services. We discuss trade-offs between ES for different restoration methods and their specific applications, examine disservices resulting from forest restoration, and detail variation in outcomes across time and space. Our review shows most studies focus on just a few regulating and maintenance services. Provisioning and cultural services remain underrepresented. Very little research is devoted to disservices. It is poorly understood how these (unintentional) restoration results balance with services and how they differ between stakeholders. We find that context matters in forest restoration projects, as it defines appropriate methods, outcomes, and implications. A broad, multifunctional focus in restoration is needed to identify trade-offs between ES in different forms of restoration, to weigh services and disservices, and to evaluate total restoration success.
