Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Over half of dryland ecosystems worldwide are degraded, making restoration a priority. Most dryland restoration efforts use seed‐based approaches, which often result in limited establishment of desirable species. The dual challenges of abiotic stressors and invasive species dominance are key barriers to native plant community ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Restoration outcomes in cold desert ecosystems like sagebrush steppe are affected by weather variability, particularly during the spring, a critical time period for seedling establishment. Seedling emergence phenology is also highly variable among species in these ecosystems.

HeliyonCover cropping is a soil restorative strategy that can save degraded soils and offer additional benefits relative to the traditional fallow-based practice in semi-arid cropping systems. This study aimed to (i) quantify the above (shoot)- and belowground (

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Globally, livestock grazing is a key driver of vegetation degradation in arid rangelands. This degradation tends to be most severe near artificial water points which are focal points for livestock activity. Conservation reserves have been established on former rangelands; however, the timeframes for vegetation recovery following ...

Rangeland dynamics in South Omo Zone of Southern Ethiopia: Assessment of rangeland condition in relation to altitude and Grazing types [PDF]
A study was undertaken in Hamer and Benna-Tsemay districts of the Southern Ethiopia with the objective to determine the condition of the rangelands for grazing animals as influenced by altitude and grazing types.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Restoration increasingly operates in rapidly transforming landscapes shaped by human‐driven global change, where historical reference states no longer represent achievable or even desirable targets. Yet, ecological restoration and conservation management still rely on composition‐based definitions of ecosystem integrity that assume stable reference ...

Cutting, herbicide, and fire: a case study for managing woody plants in tallgrass prairies
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.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
