The ecology of wellbeing: How ecosystem services enhance the wellbeing of New Zealanders

, 2015
Most research on ecosystem services has focused on the supply side of the supply–demand equation – what are ecosystem services, and how to classify, value and manage them to protect supply.

Planting diversity and density shape native plant survival and community assembly in tropical forest restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Forest restoration in Hawaii is underway due to past large‐scale conversion of forests to pastures dominated by invasive grasses. Secondary succession is limited by grass dominance and a lack of native seed rain, making outplanting a viable restoration strategy.

The pattern of the woody species of the Nylsvley Savanna Ecosystem Project area.

, 1976
A recent survey of the woody plants in the Naboomspruit area of the Northern Transvaal has borne out the fact that plants rarely occur at random in an ecosystem.

Tropical savanna restoration: topsoil removal and direct‐seeding promote a biodiverse and invasion‐resistant community

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Open ecosystems, such as native grasslands and savannas, cover vast tropical areas and sustain multiple ecosystem services. However, they face intense degradation due to conversion into pastures with exotic grasses that invade natural ecosystems.

Cultivating diversity: is the functional diversity of nursery stocks sufficient for the establishment of functionally diverse restored woodlands?

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Ecological restoration projects often rely on nurseries (NU) to provide plants to restore ecological communities. However, the range of species available in NU may not represent the range of ecological function found in species in reference (natural) communities.

Microplastic Dynamics in Sediment Layers of Two Ramsar‐Designated Wetlands

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Little is known about the vertical and spatial dynamics of microplastics in relation to hydrology and land use, particularly in African context. This study aimed to assess the abundance, type, colour and vertical distribution of microplastics in sediment from two Ramsar‐designated wetlands, the Makuleke and Nylsvley. Sediment core samples were

The emergence of alternative ecosystem states in African savannas

In Africa’s diverse ecosystems, the theory of alternative ecosystem states (AES) holds particular significance, especially within its savannas. However, evidence remains unconvincing due to stringent testing criteria. Despite robust theoretical models demonstrating AES, a notable gap persists in empirical evidence.
