Native tree species selection for landscape restoration: A Practical Guide Using GlobUNT

GlobalUsefulNativeTrees database (GlobUNT; https://patspo.shinyapps.io/GlobalUsefulTrees/) is an open-access decision-support tool designed to assist users in selecting site specific appropriate native tree species for conservation, agroforestry and restoration activities. This technical manual is designed to equip users with practical guidance for identifying and selecting appropriate native tree species for ecological restoration and agroforestry initiatives. As restoration efforts expand globally, selecting species that are ecologically suitable, locally adapted, and aligned with community needs is essential for achieving long-term environmental and socio-economic benefits. The purpose of this manual is to support evidence-based decision-making by translating scientific data into an accessible, user-friendly process for practitioners working in diverse restoration contexts. It is intended for a broad audience including restoration practitioners, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), government agencies, project planners, extension officers, and researchers involved in ecosystem restoration, agroforestry, climate adaptation, and sustainable land management. The manual should be used as both a learning resource and a practical reference. Users can follow it sequentially to build foundational knowledge or consult specific sections when generating species lists for real-world projects using community engagement and the GlobUNT tool.
