INCREASING CAPTURE RATES OF GRASSLAND BIRDS OVER THIRTEEN YEARS INDICATES SUCCESSFUL GRASSLAND RESTORATION

open access: yes, 2023
Grassland bird populations are being lost at an alarming rate due to human modifications to grassland ecosystems. Grassland restoration has been shown to mitigate population declines for many species that use these habitats at some point in their annual
