Restoration projects are usually assessed using short-term measures, leaving a dearth of
detailed long-term successional data from restoration sites. This study examines the effects …

Restoration frequently aims to improve native species biodiversity at a site, but practitioners
have limited resources. In diverse ecosystems, the selective use of certain guilds or species …

The outcomes of ecological restoration are notoriously unpredictable, but we have no
general predictive understanding of this contingency. Management decisions can have …

Most tallgrass prairies have been destroyed or altered, making restoration an important
component to their conservation. Our goal was to evaluate progress 12-years post …

Most prairie restorations fail to produce the diversity of species found in unplowed remnants.
This lack of restored diversity is hypothesized to be partly due to the inhibition of forb species …

Landscape context and site history, including antecedent site conditions, may constrain
restoration potential despite the efforts of restoration practitioners. However, few …

Prairie reconstructions are a critical component of preservation of the imperiled tallgrass
prairie ecosystem in the Midwestern United States. Sustainability of this endeavor depends …

One important goal in prairie restorations is to have forb species that flower throughout the
growing season (ie a range of flowering phenology). We conducted an experiment to test …

Restoration of grassland ecosystems is essential for mitigating global losses of biodiversity
and is typically initiated to foster persistent, long‐term increases in biodiversity. Yet …

Restoring highly degraded sites in Oregon's Willamette Valley to diverse native prairie plant
communities is an important component of regional conservation strategies. However …
