The role of research for integrated management of invasive species, invaded landscapes and communities (2008, background): “Management of invasive species is a growing and persistent problem worldwide as ‘novel ecosystems’ become more common and difficult to return to natural states ( Hobbs et al . 2006 ).”
The Emerging Era of Novel Tropical Forests (2009, background): “…forests because human activity continues to modify landscapes in ways that are unfavorable to the regeneration of traditional community assemblages, particularly in the periurban environment and after the cycle of deforestation, agricultural use, and abandonment of lands (Hobbs et al. 2006).”
Climate Change, Aboveground-Belowground Interactions, and Species' Range Shifts (2012, background): “Van der Putten”
Integrating plant- and animal-based perspectives for more effective restoration of biodiversity (2016, background): “Ecological restoration is the process of assisting the recovery of entire ecosystems (Hobbs et al. 2006 ).”
Australia's Biodiversity and Climate Change (2010, background): “Since the European settlement of Australia, other novel communities have been produced, primarily as the result of invasions of new species (Hobbs et al. 2006), changes in fire regimes, and landscape transformations (Lindenmayer and Fischer 2006).”
Does the biogeographic origin of species matter? Ecological effects of native and non‐native species and the use of origin to guide management (2016, background): “As a result of human actions, there are now assemblages of species that have never co-occurred before and environmental conditions that go beyond the conditions that historical species assemblages have experienced, termed ‘novel ecosystems’ (Hobbs et al. 2006).”
Climate change and forests of the future: managing in the face of uncertainty. (2007, background): “These concepts commonly use historical forest conditions, usually defined as those that occurred before Euro-Americans dominated North American landscapes, as a means of gaining information about how healthy forests should be structured.”
Can ecosystem functioning be maintained despite climate‐driven shifts in species composition? Insights from novel marine forests (2018, background): “As a result, present-day species abundance and composition of many contemporary ecosystems does not resemble historical configurations (Hobbs et al. 2006; Hobbs, Higgs & Harris 2009).”
Urban Grassland Restoration: A Neglected Opportunity for Biodiversity Conservation (2013, background): “Aiming at the services these ecosystems provide rather than their complete naturalness can be an important step toward the future of urban nature, particularly as environmental change will affect today’s restoration outcomes anyway (Hobbs et al. 2006).”
