Seed pellets containing activated carbon increase emergence of native plant species used in dryland restoration following herbicide application

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over half of dryland ecosystems worldwide are degraded, making restoration a priority. Most dryland restoration efforts use seed‐based approaches, which often result in limited establishment of desirable species. The dual challenges of abiotic stressors and invasive species dominance are key barriers to native plant community ...

Climate Change Reduces Habitat Suitability of the Endemic Iranian Ground-Jay (<i>Podoces pleskei</i>): Spatial Analyses to Guide Conservation Strategies. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Pleske's ground jay (Podoces pleskei), an endemic bird of Iran's drylands, faces severe habitat loss due to climate change and human activities. Using ecological niche models and GIS analyses, we identified key environmental drivers of its distribution and found that 52% of suitable habitat is projected to be lost, with much of the remaining range ...

A matter of timing: sagebrush steppe restoration seeding outcomes altered by species responses to warmer spring temperatures and interannual weather variation

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoration outcomes in cold desert ecosystems like sagebrush steppe are affected by weather variability, particularly during the spring, a critical time period for seedling establishment. Seedling emergence phenology is also highly variable among species in these ecosystems.

Trait‐based restoration in African dryland restoration projects: overcoming systemic and scientific barriers for a viable future

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction African dryland restoration continues to show low success rates despite major pledges, due to persistent water scarcity, ecological complexity, and limited use of trait‐based restoration (TBR). Functional trait‐based approaches, which match species selection to adaptive traits, could strengthen ecosystem recovery under arid ...

Impacts of reclamation approaches on plant establishment in an arid environment during copper mine revegetation

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Revegetation using native vegetation is a commonly used technique to reclaim landscapes degraded by mining activities. Revegetation efforts in the arid Southwestern United States face physical, geochemical, hydrological, and biological challenges unique to drylands.

New medicine for soil restoration: biological soil crust capsules facilitate native plant and soil microbe establishment

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoration in drylands is challenging because of harsh climates, requiring creative methods and organisms like biocrusts for restoration of degraded lands. Biocrusts are thin, coherent soil surface layers prevalent in drylands, engineered, and inhabited by communities of organisms including mosses, lichens, and cyanobacteria ...
