In this seminar I will talk about the latest findings from collavorative projects on the impact of humans on island’s biodiversity. The findings suggest that the rate of change on plant biodiverity increases significantly during the years following human settlement, with the most dramatic changes occurring in islands settled in the last 1500 years. We also will discuss how our results may help to inform targeted restoration efforts and provide greater understanding into plant biodiverisity change.
