Ecosystem restoration: A public health intervention
(Springer, 2020)We are seemingly locked into a downward spiral of ecological degradation, biodiversity loss, and a climate emergency. Ecological restoration aims to improve the ecological trajectory of degraded ecosystems. Ecosystem ... -
Exotic weeds and fluctuating microclimate can constrain native plant regeneration in urban forest restoration
(Wiley, 2017)Restoring forest structure and composition is an important component of urban land management, but we lack clear understanding of the mechanisms driving restoration success. Here we studied two indicators of restoration ... -
Forest canopy restoration has indirect effects on litter decomposition and no effect on denitrification
(Wiley, 2018)Forest restoration has potential to recover degraded ecosystem functions in disturbed environments. Decomposition and denitrification are two critical functions involved in forest nutrient cycling that are often compromised ... -
Promoting social and environmental justice to support Indigenous partnerships in urban ecosystem restoration
(WILEY, 2020-11-27)Urban ecological restoration typically employs western science approaches to restore degraded ecosystems. As yet, few restoration groups acknowledge the history of these degraded urban sites, despite connections, past and ... -
Urban Restoration Ecology: Investigating environmental change, ecological function, and enrichment planting
(The University of Waikato, 2017)Ecosystems worldwide are being degraded and destroyed by human actions on an unprecedented level. This continues despite growing evidence that intact, functioning ecosystems are critical to human health and well-being. The ...

The effects of urban forest restoration and environmental heterogeneity on microbial diversity and ecosystem functioning
(The University of Waikato, 2022)Increasing global urbanisation poses extensive environmental threats, including the loss of biodiversity and associated ecosystem functions. Ecosystem restoration interventions like native plantings can assist in halting ... -
Enrichment planting of late-successional plant species within restored urban forests
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Successful ecological restoration of early-successional forests should result in highly biodiverse, stable, self-perpetuating ecosystems. This often requires active intervention to transition them to a late-successional ...
