EcoRe3 scientific goals

The EcoRe3 working group was active from 2016 to 2020 and worked to address the following scientific goals:

Theory

Develop innovative methods to measure and compare resistance, recovery and resilience using long-term ecological datasets.

Application

Use a series of high-resolution paleoecological records to test the use of these approaches in a range of environmental settings.

Training

Develop Open-Source code and provide training in these methods to enable widespread application across the ecological- and geo-sciences.

Integration

Identify future research priorities at the end of the three-year working group phase, with a particular emphasis on how to integrate the tools developed into (i) landscape planning and (ii) other ecological datasets.
