DOI: 10.1071/pc25024
Abstract: Rehabilitation is needed to address social and ecological impacts of high-intensity mining activity in the Pilbara region. Yet success is limited by the arid climate, lack of topsoil, and poor plant establishment from sown seeds.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.14311
Abstract: Phyllosphere fungal communities participate in multiple ecological functions (litter decomposition, disease‐causing, plant defence). However, there is a lack of knowledge on whether and how these functions contribute to plant community dynamics under natural conditions. One… read more here.

Revegetated riparian areas are dominated by weeds, and lack structural diversity and natural recruitment: lessons for restoration practice
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Restoration Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/rec.14098
Abstract: Riparian areas can be highly biodiverse and provide critical ecosystem services. However, they are frequently subject to anthropogenic impacts such as land clearing, agricultural use, and urban development. Restoration of riparian areas via revegetation commonly… read more here.

The role of biological soil crusts in vascular plant recruitment in the Loess Plateau region, China
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Restoration Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/rec.14235
Abstract: Globally, biological soil crusts (BSCs) are crucial ecosystem components that perform essential functions important to ecosystem stability. However, the potential mechanisms of BSC's effect on vascular plant recruitment and establishment are largely unknown. Furthermore, few… read more here.
