National-scale datasets underestimate vegetation recovery in Australian human-induced native forest regeneration carbon sequestration projects

Tim R. Moore, Andrew O’Reilly‐Nugent, K.R. Clarke, Cathy Waters

Limiting global warming below 2 °C requires nature-based climate solutions, which are expected to supply more than a third of cost-effective climate mitigation by 2030 1 , 2 , while prioritizing avoiding fossil fuel emissions. Regenerating native forests under the Australian Government’s …

Scientific rigour must underpin assessment of Australian nature-based solutions to climate change

Tim P. Moore, Andrew O’Reilly‐Nugent, K.R. Clarke, Cathy Waters

Limiting global warming below 2 degrees C requires nature-based climate solutions which are expected to supply more than a third of cost-effective climate mitigation by 2030. Regenerating native forests under the Australian Government’s Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) program are delivering large-scale …

Augmenting rangeland condition monitoring with drones: potential for carbon farming projects to support widespread ecosystem assessment

Samuel Shumack, Gregor J. Sanders, Michael D. Rooney, Andrew O’Reilly‐Nugent

Large areas of the Australian rangelands are used for pastoral agriculture. Rangeland condition monitoring commonly operates at one of the following two scales: (1) detailed but spatially restricted on-ground surveys of farm and ecosystem condition, or (2) regional and national analyses using …

Active restoration after three decades: Seed addition increases native dominance compared to landscape‐scale secondary succession

Andrew O’Reilly‐Nugent, Dana M. Blumenthal, Elizabeth M. Wandrag, Richard P. Duncan et autres

Abstract Active restoration often aims to accelerate ecosystem recovery. However, active restoration may not be worthwhile if its effects are overwhelmed by changes that occur passively. Moreover, it can be challenging to separate the effects of passive processes, such as dispersal and …

Optimising height‐growth predicts trait responses to water availability and other environmental drivers

Isaac R. Towers, Andrew O’Reilly‐Nugent, Manon E. B. Sabot, Peter Anton Vesk et autres

Abstract Future changes in climate, together with rising atmospheric , may reorganise the functional composition of ecosystems. Without long‐term historical data, predicting how traits will respond to environmental conditions—in particular, water availability—remains a challenge. While eco‐evolutionary optimality theory (EEO) can provide insight …

Explaining plant trait variation in response to soil water availability using an optimal height-growth model

Isaac R. Towers, Andrew O’Reilly‐Nugent, Manon E. B. Sabot, Peter Anton Vesk et autres

1 Abstract Climate change is expected to bring about changes in precipitation and temperature regimes that, together with rising atmospheric CO 2 concentrations, will likely reorganise the functional trait composition of ecosystems. Predicting plant trait responses to emerging environmental conditions including, in …

Exploring the interplay of biotic interactions and salinity stress in freshwater invertebrate assemblages: reply to Chessman (2022)

Ben John Kefford, Jon P. Bray, Susan J. Nichols, J. Reich et autres

The most parsimonious interpretation of our experimental findings (Bray 2019; Kefford 2022) is that the effect of experimental increases in salinity on stream macroinvertebrate communities, was altered by organisms from a high-salinity site. This interpretation is consistent with long-established and widely accepted …

Understanding salt-tolerance and biota–stressor interactions in freshwater invertebrate communities

Ben John Kefford, Jon P. Bray, Susan J. Nichols, J. Reich et autres

Salinity is increasing in many naturally fresh waters because of human activities, and there are concerns about the ecological effects of these increases. Salinity, as with any stressor, can affect organisms both directly and indirectly. In a previous study (Bray et al. …

TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open access

Jens Kattge, Gerhard Bönisch, Sandra M. Díaz, Sandra Lavorel et autres

Plant traits-the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants-determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast …
