Abstract Introduction Agricultural activities are a major driver of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation in subtropical streams, often altering macroinvertebrate community structure and associated ecosystem functions. Although restoration strategies increasingly target these impacts, the relative importance of riparian shading and in‐stream ...

Abstract Introduction The restoration of degraded ecosystems is an important means of promoting and conserving biodiversity. However, restoration projects on average fail to reach target biodiversity levels within the time frames they are studied. Competition from non‐native groundlayer grasses and forbs, potential facilitative effects of plant–plant ...

Cutting, herbicide, and fire: a case study for managing woody plants in tallgrass prairies
Abstract Introduction The removal of clonal and resprouting woody plants expanding into mesic grasslands like tallgrass prairies can be expensive based on the types of treatments applied and subsequent retreatments. Objective We aimed to determine how combined herbicide application, mechanical treatments, and annual prescribed fire influenced grassland

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