• Advancing restoration ecology: A new approach to predict time to recovery 

      Rydgren, Knut; Halvorsen, Rune; Töpper, Joachim Paul; Auestad, Inger; Hamre, Liv Norunn; Jongejans, Eelke; Sulavik, Jan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      1. Species composition is a vital attribute of any ecosystem. Accordingly, ecological restoration often has the original, or “natural,” species composition as its target. However, we still lack adequate methods for predicting ...
    • Assessing recovery of alpine spoil heaps by vascular plant, bryophyte, and lichen functional traits 

      Sulavik, Jan; Auestad, Inger; Halvorsen, Rune; Rydgren, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Functional traits are linked to ecosystem processes and services and therefore relevant in recovery assessment. However, traits of bryophytes and lichens, important components of many ecosystems, have received less attention ...
    • Assessing restoration success by predicting time to recovery- But by which metric? 

      Rydgren, Knut; Auestad, Inger; Halvorsen, Rune; Hamre, Liv Norunn; Jongejans, Eelke; Töpper, Joachim Paul; Sulavik, Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      1. Restoration of degraded ecosystems may take decades or even centuries. Accordingly, information about the current direction and speed of recovery provided by methods for predicting time to recovery may give important ...
