Restoration islands are concentrated plantings in strategic locations, created to efficiently use resources achieve restoration goals. These methods have been used effectively mesic ecosystems, particularly tropical forests, where the goal of island is often “nucleate” across a degraded area, providing seed source for spread outside planted area. Here, we consider how an strategy might be goals dryland limited and large areas land make extremely challenging. In contrast more productive...
Widespread degradation of natural lands has created an urgent need for restoration. However, the high cost conventional techniques limits extent and success restoration efforts. As a result, practitioners have developed new cost‐effective techniques. Spatially patterned methods, where established clusters plant species serve as propagule sources across broad target area, been proposed practical The spatial patterning is expected to reduce initial costs provide ecological benefits such...
The reestablishment and enhancement of plant diversity is typically a priority for restoration practitioners. Since stability can be affected by the magnitude to which randomness drives community dynamics, modifying (via habitat heterogeneity) could provide utility vegetation managers. We investigated value using strip seeding manipulate structures communities across grassland in Davis, California. Five years after restoring portions degraded site (0, 33, 50, 66, 100% an area) create patches...
Abstract Conservation biology is particularly susceptible to the knowledge‐implementation gap where academic pursuits do not always meet needs of practitioners. Providing future practitioners with relevant training and experiences as graduate students can help narrow this gap. An example one such experience was a partnership between University California, Davis The Nature Conservancy (TNC), established conduct climate vulnerability assessments wildlife in California. Here, we discuss value...
Strip seeding is a novel restoration practice of strategically planting in strips, resulting alternating seeded and unseeded areas to target efforts reduce costs while achieving ecological outcomes similar conventional methods entire sites. However, there has been limited work testing the efficacy this method, including how strip width percent area affect outcomes. We evaluated four native grass seed treatments (33%, 50% narrow, wide, 66% seeded), an control, 100% control investigate: (1)...
