The perceived ecological and human well‐being benefits of ecosystem restoration Open
Traditionally, ecosystem restoration has focussed on standard ecological indicators like water or habitat quality, species population abundance or vegetation cover to determine success. However, there is growing interest in how restoration…

Planning for people and nature: Comparing quality‐of‐life outcomes across environmental systems to inform conservation planning Open
Conservation programs have been slow to integrate socio‐economic indicators into decision making despite growing recognition that addressing social‐ecological systems improves outcomes for nature and people. Our goal was to identify small,…

Groundwater in Crisis? Addressing Groundwater Challenges in Michigan (USA) as a Template for the Great Lakes Open
Groundwater historically has been a critical but understudied, underfunded, and underappreciated natural resource, although recent challenges associated with both groundwater quantity and quality have raised its profile. This is particular…

Minimizing opportunity costs to aquatic connectivity restoration while controlling an invasive species Open
Controlling invasive species is critical for conservation but can have unintended consequences for native species and divert resources away from other efforts. This dilemma occurs on a grand scale in the North American Great Lakes, where d…

How much conservation is enough? Defining implementation goals for healthy fish communities in agricultural rivers Open
"How much conservation is enough?" is one of the most important and difficult questions to answer. In this work, we demonstrate an approach to specifically answer this question for conservation strategies designed to address nonpoint sourc…
