Ecological restoration is an important tool for managing human impact on the environment. However, there is a limited understanding of how to maximise the success of ecological restoration practices, and what we do know is very site and species specific. I propose to study which plant traits (e.g. leaf size, flowering time and germination times) predict the outcomes of ecological restoration, how they influence these outcomes, and the traits' interaction with abioitic traits in a restoration setting. As the results will be plant-trait focused the findings have the potential to guide restoration practices at a global level in a way that site and species specific results cannot.
