To date, restoration ecology has focused on local areas, particularly small-scale ecosystems. As such, restoration ecology has been applied to areas with clear boundaries, such as roads, abandoned mines, wetlands, and forest ecosystems. However, those involved in these restoration efforts, due to their tendency toimplement comprehensive plans to change the landscape structure, and their mismanagement of the restorationprocess, have more often than not wound up weakening the ecological functions of surrounding ecosystems, andin further degrading the ecosystem which they were trying to restore. To resolve these problems and restore a comparatively large-scale region, methods to assess the impact of such restoration efforts on surroundingecosystems must be developed. These include expanding the scale of restoration efforts; in other words, movingfrom the local to the landscape scale. As a conclusion, practice of ecological restoration is increasingly moving towards landscape scale in order to deal with these problems.
