Can surface treatments and climate matching enhance restoration success in the Sonoran Desert?

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoring native plant communities in arid ecosystems through seeding is a critical yet often unsuccessful strategy due to severe environmental stressors, including degraded soils, low and variable rainfall, and seed predation. Objectives To improve restoration outcomes, we examined the influence of seed mix types and soil surface

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.

Room to regenerate: microhabitats and the recruitment niche as drivers of mountain woodland restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Natural regeneration is an efficient, minimal‐intervention approach essential for facilitating resilient, self‐sustaining ecosystems during woodland restoration. However, recruitment can be slow, uncertain, or highly restricted, particularly in mountain woodland systems where tree planting and large herbivore management are ...

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

The role of seed mix characteristics and soil amendments during post‐agricultural prairie restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Prairie restoration on degraded lands may be influenced by seed mix characteristics, including species richness and legume establishment. Soil amendments may facilitate restoration; however, the practical usefulness of techniques such as applications of whole soil and leaf mulch remains relatively unclear.

Fire frequency and timing influence bee–flower interactions: a case study from an oak‐pine savanna restoration on the Cumberland Plateau

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Native plant communities have declined in the southeastern United States over the past century because of habitat loss and fire suppression. While restoration of these communities often requires prescribed fire, the effects of fire on endemic insects remain unclear.

First assessment of brush‐harvested native seed mixes in southern Brazilian grasslands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The restoration of grassland ecosystems in southern Brazil remains limited by the absence of a structured supply chain for native seeds and seedlings. Objectives Here, we present the first evaluation in Brazil of mechanized, multi‐species seed harvesting from native grassland remnants using a brush harvester.
