Species and environmental characteristics point to flow regulation and drought as drivers of riparian plant invasion (2014, background): “In a time of global environmental change, it seems inevitable that the structure and composition of some ecosystems will shift (Hobbs et al., 2009), including riparian zones (Catford et al.”
Can ecosystem functioning be maintained despite climate‐driven shifts in species composition? Insights from novel marine forests (2018, neutral): “Differences in the magnitude and pace of species’ distribution shifts results in communities that are compositionally distinct from previous configurations, often called ‘novel’ or ‘no-analog’ communities (Williams & Jackson 2007; Hobbs et al. 2009).”
How are garbage dumps impacting vertebrate demography, health, and conservation? (2017, background): “In this complex context of waste overproduction, it is expectable that this problemmayenhance the ecosystem alteration and lead to a novel ecosystem where changes in biodiversity may occur (Hobbs et al., 2009).”
Filling historical data gaps to foster solutions in marine conservation (2015, background): “Similarly, in some ecosystems transitions to species compositions, interactions and functions unprecedented in the historical record have been observed (Graham et al., 2014; Hobbs et al., 2009).”
Quantifying levels of biological invasion: towards the objective classification of invaded and invasible ecosystems (2011, background): “Management-based objectives do not necessarily reflect ecological impacts of invasions; they encompass many other considerations (Rodrı́guez et al., 2007; Hobbs et al., 2009).”
Mapping the impact of alien species on marine ecosystems: the Mediterranean Sea case study (2016, background): “Alien ecosystem engineers can create novel ecosystems that fulfil important roles that might otherwise be lost in degraded systems (Hobbs et al., 2009).”
Community and ecosystem responses to recent climate change (2010, background): “Hence, community reorganization will not only lead to a reshuffling of existing species; in times of global exchange of organisms and goods also ‘new’ species will arrive, mix in and compose novel assemblages (Walther 2004; Williams & Jackson 2007; Hobbs et al. 2009), and thus contribute to modified”
Structural and Functional Loss in Restored Wetland Ecosystems (2012, background): “Second, restored wetlands may have shifted to alternative states, different from their condition before degradation [14,15].”
The historical reference in restoration ecology: Re-defining a cornerstone concept (2014, background): “Seventy years later, Hobbs et al. (2009) suggested that where we humans have—possibly irreversibly—brought upon ourselves, and the biosphere, a new ecological order, the historical reference as a tool and baseline in restoration and conservation is obsolete.”
Ecological palaeoecology and conservation biology: controversies, challenges, and compromises (2012, background): “The management of novel ecosystems may require novel approaches (Hobbs et al. 2006, 2009; Seastedt et al. 2008; Bridgewater et al. 2011).”
