Microsite selection improves post‐fire restoration of singleleaf pinyon pine on Washoe Tribal lands in the Pine Nut Mountains, NV, USA

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Singleleaf pinyon pine (Pinus monophylla) holds both ecological and cultural significance for Indigenous Tribes of the Great Basin, such as the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California. Recent wildfires on Washoe Tribal lands have resulted in the loss of important pinyon pine groves, prompting collaborative efforts to develop post ...

Restoration ecology in conflict along the Colorado front range

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is a challenge to restoration in western North America. It attracts the attention of academic and government research scientists, weed managers, and chemical companies. Attempts to control it cause conflicts among these groups.

Native seed mix functional composition determines native plant recruitment and competition against invasive annual grass Bromus tectorum

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The invasion of the winter annual grass Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) reduces native plant biodiversity and increases wildfire risk in western North America. Seed‐based restoration often fails to increase native plant recruitment in degraded, Cheatgrass‐invaded areas.

Addressing multiple management goals during roadside restoration: reducing weed invasion and fire risk while enhancing native plants and pollinator habitat in semiarid, invaded grasslands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Roadside vegetation management efforts often target a single desirable outcome; however, we frequently have multiple management goals for restoration. Multiple goals may be achieved concurrently, but the efficacy of roadside revegetation methods is largely unclear, especially when multiple methods are combined.

Global meta‐analysis highlights recovery of animal functional diversity in restored coastal ecosystems

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coastal ecosystems have experienced widespread global degradation, prompting substantial investment in restoration. While structural recovery is well documented, whether restoration reestablishes the functional diversity (FD) of animal communities and how recovery unfolds through time remains poorly resolved. Objectives This study

Mulching does not improve seedling survival or growth during early forest restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Weed control is one of the main operational challenges and cost components of tropical forest restoration in former pasturelands. Physical barriers (mulches) have been proposed as an alternative to conventional ring weeding because they can suppress competing vegetation while potentially improving the soil microenvironment ...

Northern bobwhites select for native grasses on working grazing land

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.
Northern bobwhites in eastern Kentucky selected for native warm‐season grasses at multiple spatial scales in an environment dominated by exotic cool‐season grass cattle forage. Our study suggests that incorporating native warm‐season grass cattle forages into existing operations across the southeastern United States may be a viable working‐lands ...

The Vegetation Integrity and Cost‐Effectiveness of Different Management Options for Grassy Woodlands in Urban Green Space

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban green space is important for conserving biodiversity in urban landscapes, however, the dominant management regime in urban green space (regular mowing) has relatively low biodiversity value. We explored if direct‐seeding (scrape and sow), planting (and mulching) and passive restoration are viable alternatives to regular mowing for ...

Understanding the Anomalies in Exotic Annual Grass Cover in Precipitation Scenario Maps of Rangelands in the Western United States

Remote Sensing
In rangeland ecosystems of the western United States, invasion by exotic annual grass (EAG) poses a substantial threat to native biodiversity. Studies have shown that weather, especially precipitation, can greatly influence the rate of invasion and EAG cover in arid and semi-arid rangeland ecosystems.

Using Expert Knowledge to Guide Transparent Mapping of Occupiable Threatened Species Habitat for Environmental Impact Assessment Purposes

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Consistent definition of environmental parameters to define occupiable threatened species habitat is important for quantifying the potential impact footprint as part of environmental impact assessments. Presently, occupiable habitats are often mapped based on subjective and varied understanding of what likely habitat is, leading to ...
