However, the globally accommodated monitoring protocol of ecological restoration is still under exploration. Based on the reports presented on the latest three world congresses of ecological restoration (SER) and statistical analysis, we reviewed the research progress in monitoring technology, protocol and indicators of ecological restoration. We predict the research trends of the monitoring of ecological restoration would be as follows: (1) Monitoring techniques will develop toward to automation, integration of intelligence and network, all aspects of ecological restoration project, and tech-intensity. (2) The monitoring indicator system and standards of ecological restoration will achieve consensus. (3) The trend of synthetic monitoring and multi-discipline intersection will be more obvious. (4) The monitoring results will be more and more widely used. %U http://www.cje.net.cn/EN/abstract/article_23256.shtml
