“The invasive species Alliaria petiolata (garlic mustard) increases soil nutrient availability... plots invaded by A. Petiolata were consistently and
significantly higher in N, P, Ca and Mg availability, and soil pH...
...The results presented here... suggest that this invasive plant may change soil nutrient availability in such a way as to create a positive feedback
between site occupancy and continued proliferation....” (Rodgers et al, 2008)

keys to successEcosystems People
Understand general processes and
unique site‐specific circumstances
Document symptoms, timing.
Assess a sample 3‐day diet diary.
Understand site /public
/stakeholder context
Consider family history. Social
and/or professional support highly
variable from patient to patient.
Select goals that are: specific,
achievable, measurable,
understandable, flexible
Serum values of nutrients are
widely tested in research. Targets
are generally easy to achieve,
measure and understand.
Conduct long‐term monitoring
and evaluation
Do regular blood work, document
changes in function/symptoms,
adapt regimen if/as needed.
Conduct more in‐depth
investigations when needed.

“Ecosystem restoration ... is generally far costlier than
protecting the original ecosystem... it is rare that all
of the biodiversity and services of a system can be restored...” (MEA, 2005)
“A stitch in time may save nine...” (Fuller, 1732)
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure...”
(Franklin, 1735)
Restoration ecology and mainstream human health care in Canada are typically reactive approaches.
By employing proactive approaches to human and ecosystem health, better outcomes can potentially be achieved for all.
