Advances in restoration ecology: rising to the challenges of the coming decades (2015, background): “Allied questions focus on how to prioritize restoration activities, and determining what interventions should be carried out where in multifunctional landscapes (Hobbs et al. 2011).”
Faustian bargains? Restoration realities in the context of biodiversity offset policies (2012, background): “Furthermore, given the complexity and variability of natural systems, the ecological community is increasingly recognizing that recreating or restoring ecosystems to some specified former state is often unlikely to be feasible (Hobbs et al., 2011), especially within reasonable time-frames.”
Ecology in an anthropogenic biosphere (2015, background): “…demands for rewilding, conservation beyond protected areas, and other unconventional, controversial, and poorly understood strategies for restoring and sustaining nonhuman nature (Hobbs et al. 2011, 2014, Redford et al. 2013, Robbins and Moore 2013, Marris 2014, Sandler 2014, Smith et al. 2014).”
Avoiding bio‐perversity from carbon sequestration solutions (2012, background): “Drivers of bio-perverse outcomes and their potential prominence in carbon plantation projects Interventions in complex ecosystems often result in perverse outcomes—that is, paradoxical and unintended negative consequences (Tenner 1996; Hobbs et al. 2011).”
Contemporary forest restoration: A review emphasizing function (2014, background): “Intervention ecology goes further and seeks transformative adaptation to future conditions (Hobbs et al., 2011; Kates et al., 2012).”
Hemlock woolly adelgid in the southern Appalachians: Control strategies, ecological impacts, and potential management responses (2013, background): “Land managers will be challenged to manage these ‘‘novel ecosystems’’ in ways that may be very different than in the past (Hobbs et al., 2011).”
Invader Relative Impact Potential: a new metric to understand and predict the ecological impacts of existing, emerging and future invasive alien species (2017, background): “We propose that our new metric has much potential utility for scientists, managers, practitioners and policy makers who are often tasked with intervention ecology (Hobbs et al. 2011) and the associated cost-benefit analysis involved in invasive species management and control.”
Conservation opportunities across the world's anthromes (2014, background): “Intervention ecology Hobbs et al. (2011) Rather than attempt to restore past systems, reinstate the capacity for ecosystem”
Using plant functional traits to restore Hawaiian rainforest (2015, background): “This view emphasizes maintaining ecosystem services and functions (Hobbs et al. 2011).”
