Landscape Ecology Perspective in Restoration Projects for Biodiversity Conservation: a Review (2013, background): “This association of landscape cover and connectivity with biodiversity conservation and landscape resilience has great potential to help restoration practitioners distinguishing areas that would most benefit from restoration actions from those that are capable of recovering without intervention (Hob”
From Reintroduction to Assisted Colonization: Moving along the Conservation Translocation Spectrum (2010, background): “…the inherent problems in trying to replicate some arbitrary condition in the past (Temperton 2007), including a lack of accurate historical records (Hobbs 2007), the dynamic nature of ecological systems (Choi et al. 2008), and the occurrence of irreversible losses or change (Hobbs & Harris 2001;…”
A unified framework for the restoration of Southeast Asian mangroves—bridging ecology, society and economics (2009, background): “The goals have to be realistic (Hobbs 2007).”
Habitat Restoration—Do We Know What We’re Doing? (2007, background): “Goals are derived from a complex mix of ecological, social, historical, and philosophical viewpoints (Hobbs 2004, 2007) but, in many cases, are not formulated in such a way as to guide effective habitat restoration.”
Does invasive plant management aid the restoration of natural ecosystems (2009, background): “…invasion, such as change in fire frequency (Lunt and Morgan, 2002) or nutrientenrichment (Lake and Leishman, 2004) would assist in restoring an ecosystem over the long-term (MacDougall and Turkington, 2005; Hobbs, 2007), it is unfortunately often outside the immediate control of most land managers.”
Faustian bargains? Restoration realities in the context of biodiversity offset policies (2012, background): “Part of this debate relates to how success is defined and hence the types of goals and outcomes expected from restoration projects (Hobbs, 2007).”
Secondary invasion: The bane of weed management (2016, background): “…a formof disturbancewith positive and negative direct and indirect effects of varying strength on the target invader, non-target natives and exotics, and abiotic ecosystem components (Buckley et al., 2007; D'Antonio and Meyerson, 2002; Hobbs, 2007; Pearson and Ortega, 2009; Zavaleta et al., 2001).”
Determining appropriate goals for restoration of imperilled communities and species (2011, background): “One recurring problem that permeates most conservation and restoration efforts is defining appropriate goals and restoration targets (Hobbs 2007).”
Restoration Ecology: Interventionist Approaches for Restoring and Maintaining Ecosystem Function in the Face of Rapid Environmental Change (2008, background): “focuses on the future as much as, if not more than, on the past (139-142).”
Intervention Ecology: Applying Ecological Science in the Twenty-first Century (2011, background): “A categorization based on intention forces a clear consideration of goals up front, rather than actions based on preconceptions or a failure to clarify and agree on goals at all (Hobbs 2007).”
Guidelines for improved management of riparian zones invaded by alien plants in South Africa (2008, background): “Practical decision framework to restore vegetation s into conceptually, practically and financially-realistic frameworks to assist restoration in practice (Hobbs, 2007).”
