The dynamics of natural vegetation is controlled by complex interactions of various factors, among them most significant climate, soils, disturbance and site history. The same is true for restored ecosystems, but here more research is needed to understand the long-term trajectories of ecosystem development. We investigate the role of key factors in limiting or facilitating regeneration of restored wetlands and grasslands. Current projects focus on the role of fire, climate and soil conditions in temperate, subtropical and tropical regions.
