Notes

  • Journalistic review - http://news.mongabay.com/2014/1202-hong-novel-ecosystems.html#ixzz3MGg7DZ2A
  • This article is part of a theoretical argument about landscape management goals. It doesn't seem to identify the natural-disturbed gradient, and the potential value of "novel ecosystems" that meet human needs while providing more ecosystem services than traditional annual agriculture which produces ecosystem scale disruption and impacts.

  • This issue native restoration vs. synthetic ecosystem design is particularly relevant to Riparian Buffer Function in severely disturbed agricultural landscapes.
