Fidelity, acceptability, and feasibility of the revised functional autonomy measurement system for hospitalised people: An implementation study.

Introduction: The revised functional autonomy measurement system (SMAF-R) is an outcome measure of activity performance and resource needs. This study aimed to measure the implementability of the SMAF-R as a routine outcome measure in acute and subacute inpatients.

Methods: This was a mixed-methods implementation study.

Practical applications of soil microbiota to improve ecosystem restoration: current knowledge and future directions.

Soil microbiota are important components of healthy ecosystems. Greater consideration of soil microbiota in the restoration of biodiverse, functional, and resilient ecosystems is required to address the twin global crises of biodiversity decline and climate change. In this review, we discuss available and emerging practical applications of soil microbiota into (i) restoration planning, (ii) direct interventions for shaping soil biodiversity, and (iii) strategies for monitoring and predicting restoration trajectories.

Opportunities and challenges for microbiomics in ecosystem restoration.

Microbiomics is the science of characterizing microbial community structure, function, and dynamics. It has great potential to advance our understanding of plant-soil-microbe processes and interaction networks which can be applied to improve ecosystem restoration. However, microbiomics may be perceived as complex and the technology is not accessible to all.

The potential of genomics for restoring ecosystems and biodiversity.

Billions of hectares of natural ecosystems have been degraded through human actions. The global community has agreed on targets to halt and reverse these declines, and the restoration sector faces the important but arduous task of implementing programmes to meet these objectives. Existing and emerging genomics tools offer the potential to improve the odds of achieving these targets.
