No additional detail for this event.

Under global change, scientists and conservation practitioners are challenged to develop effective management strategies that can help recover ecosystem processes and functions. The field of restoration ecology is rapidly advancing to meet this challenge through the application of innovative technology and methodology, such as trait-based approaches. When used in restoration, trait-based approaches can help track the mechanisms underlying community assembly and ecosystem function to inform species and site selection. This webinar will introduce trait-based restoration, followed by a woven panel discussion between leaders studying different focal ecosystems within the field. After engaging with the panel, participants will enter breakout discussions on how we can better bridge science and management to overcome current challenges in applying trait-based approaches to restoration.
