In the era of ongoing global change, it is highly important that restoration efforts lead to
functioning, self‐sustainable ecosystems that are resilient to disturbance and resistant to …

In the era of “Anthropocene defaunation,” large species are often no longer detected in
habitats where they formerly occurred. However, it is unclear whether this apparent missing …

While forest management strongly influences biodiversity, it remains unclear how the
structural and compositional changes caused by management affect different community …

The involvement of ecological theory in habitat restoration has significantly increased in the
past decade. However, despite the fact that the field of restoration ecology has grown …

The definition of “arable weeds” remains contentious. Although much attention has been
devoted to specialized, segetal weeds, many taxa found in arable fields also commonly …

Aim The species pool specific for a site includes all species from the region that are
theoretically able to live in the site's particular ecological conditions. The absent portion of …

Species distributions are typically represented by records of their observed occurrence at a
given spatial and temporal scale. Such records are inevitably incomplete and contingent on …

Locally observed biodiversity always consists of only a fraction of its site‐specific species
pool. Why some suitable species are absent, sha** dark diversity of that site, is a basic yet …

Habitat loss is driving the extirpation of fauna across Earth. Many species are now absent
from vast areas where they once occurred in inhabited continents, yet we do not have a …

Aim There is increasing interest in open‐ended restoration with the focus on restoring
natural processes rather than static compositional goals. Here, we investigated vegetation …
