DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2172
Abstract: Although novel ecosystems are increasing globally, their utility for biodiversity conservation is poorly understood. Native fauna are predicted to use novel ecosystems when those ecosystems provide structure and resources similar to the native habitat. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-018-1875-0
Abstract: The formation of novel ecosystems by non-native species poses management challenges that are both socially and ecologically complex. Negative attitudes towards non-native species can complicate management in cases where non-native species provide ecosystem service benefits.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.landurbplan.2018.04.015
Abstract: Abstract We evaluate the historical, philosophical, and practical relationships between two fields of theory and practice: cultural landscape conservation and ecological restoration. Each field has distinct intellectual and disciplinary roots, bodies of theory, norms of… read more here.
