| Research |
My research addresses the ecological underpinnings of restoration ecology. I am particularly interested in the application of theories from succession, community assembly and landscape ecology to wetland restoration. Ongoing work addresses how restoration progress can be best assessed and identifies the ecological factors leading to restoration success or failure. |
