When wolves aren't enough: revisiting trophic cascades in northern Wisconsin
Oikos, EarlyView.Elimination of top predators has allowed large herbivores to flourish in many terrestrial ecosystems, transforming food webs and ecosystem functions. Restoration of large predator communities is hoped to reverse negative effects of this trophic downgrading, but evidence for such effects is elusive.

Understory restoration in Hamilton urban forests
, 2011 Research was undertaken to determine how the understory vegetation of Hamilton urban forests compares with reference old-growth forests in rural locations, identify causes for differences, and develop methods to enhance species diversity.

Green pathways to mental health: Relationships between treescapes and well‐being and distress
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract We aimed to evaluate the mental health benefits and possible mechanisms of objective and subjective treescape exposures whilst also accounting for relationships with residential area greenspace in general. Independent variables were objective measures of residential neighbourhood tree cover density and woody linear features, and a subjective ...

Identifying knowledge barriers to agroforestry adoption and co‐designing solutions to them
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Compared to monocultures, agroforestry can promote biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and climate resilience, whilst maintaining or enhancing production and profits. Despite this, uptake in temperate regions remains low. Knowledge gaps amongst land managers are a primary barrier to uptake, but little is known about which aspects of ...
