Specialised woodpeckers and naturalness in hemiboreal forests - Deriving quantitative targets for conservation planning (2008, background): “Instead, the aim may be to move the ecosystems sufficiently far towards the natural pole of the gradient (Hunter, 1996; Angermeier, 2000).”
Contemporary forest restoration: A review emphasizing function (2014, background): “This redefinition of restoration removes the underpinning of a presumed ecological imperative (Angermeier, 2000; Burton and Macdonald, 2011) and underscores the importance of clearly defined goals focused on functional ecosystems.”
Virtual Conservation: How the European Union is Turning a Blind Eye to Its Vanishing Primeval Forests (2005, background): “The difference between the extremes in the continuum is so pronounced that these forests have to be treated as qualitatively different (e.g., Hunter 1996; Angermeier 2000).”
From the myth of a lost paradise to targeted river restoration: forget natural references and focus on human benefits (2009, background): “Usually human actions are perceived as ‘unnatural to the extent that they rely on technology to transform natural ecosystems’ (Angermeier, 2000).”
Dimensions of Naturalness (2008, background): “…suggested in the context of ecosystem preservation, for example, that the use of technology is a highly interfering type of human action and its use is a threat to naturalness of an ecosystem (see for example Katz 1997b, 111-12; Katz 1997c, 122; Lee 1999, 10, 107, 112; Angermeier 2000, 374-75).”
An index of naturalness (2004, background): “Angermeier (2000) is correct in noting that a human birth without technological assistance is a natural birth.”
