How can woodland resurgence best benefit people and nature? Articles in this focus issue reflect the diversity of woodland resurgence across mountain contexts, as well as the growing importance of restoration in the context of this phenomenon. In the MountainDevelopment section, contributions assess an Andean forest restoration project in Peru and a reforestation project integrating local ecological knowledge in Nepal. Articles in the MountainResearch section focus on forest structural complexity in Nepal and on farm trees as cultural keystone species in Morocco. In the MountainPlatform section, GLOMOS shares experiences from its first 5 years of action, and ARU presents its Malagasy Mountain Programme; both invite cooperation and partnerships.
