Topic: Forest ecology at the regeneration stage
Short summary: The regeneration stage is arguably the most important stage in forest ecology, as it underpins vegetation successions, drives community composition, and is integral to both plant conservation and restoration, and to plant invasions. In this talk I will highlight the role of the regeneration stage in forest ecology using three case studies from my own work: kauri forest ecology, ex situ plant conservation, and the issue of wilding conifers in New Zealand.
