Woodland caribou habitat restoration using lichen transplants: insights from a 24‐year trial

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Lichens are crucial components of many ecosystems and serve as a key winter food source for caribou. In forest‐harvested block reclamation, the focus tends to be on replanting trees and shrubs, often overlooking lichens. Objectives This study examined the effect of different transplanting methods on the success of lichen ...

Integrating herbicide application and seeding techniques to restore native plant diversity in crested wheatgrass‐dominated rangelands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoring native plant diversity in crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum)‐dominated rangelands is a persistent challenge in ecological restoration across western North America. Dense, long‐lived stands of this exotic grass suppress native seedling recruitment, hinder habitat restoration, and reduce ecosystem resilience ...

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.

Multi‐decadal woodland recovery after land abandonment: environmental constraints on passive rewilding in Mediterranean landscapes

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Across the Mediterranean Basin, land abandonment has opened large areas to passive rewilding, raising questions about the pace and variability of secondary succession in these landscapes and how ecological and abiotic gradients mediate vegetation recovery in post‐agricultural landscapes. Objectives This study aims to quantify long‐

Invasive pine control promotes native plant regeneration, but with limited effect in the Cerrado, Brazil

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Invasions by Pinus represent major challenges for conservation and ecological restoration, especially in open ecosystems of tropical South America, such as the Brazilian neotropical savanna (Cerrado). Objective We evaluated whether the clear‐cutting and manual removal of Pinus caribaea reduce the impacts of invasion on woody plant
