Oikos, EarlyView.Forest restoration success depends crucially on the reinitiation of ecological processes such as seed arrival that drive natural regeneration. We know little about whether, by increasing and diversifying local seed sources to alleviate seed limitation, and attracting animal frugivores to alleviate dispersal limitation, restoration could shift seed ...

Implications of exotic species invasion for restoration of urban riparian forests
, 2004 Urban forests serve as remnant natural areas in otherwise degraded landscapes. Yet, these forests are commonly threatened by invasion of exotic plant species, which may compromise the structure and ecological functions of native communities ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Protected areas represent complex social‐ecological systems that require governance and management approaches that valorise and enhance positive relationships between people and nature. This study analyses the alignment between social and ecological systems to detect the social‐ecological fit of projects focused on biodiversity conservation ...
