Divergent herb communities in drier and chronically disturbed areas of the Brazilian Caatinga

Ligia A. F. Vieira et al.

Summary: This study investigated the responses of herb communities in the Brazilian Caatinga to rainfall, disturbance, and woody plant density. The results showed that reduced rainfall led to decreased herb density but benefited certain genera, while increased chronic disturbance positively affected herb genera and woody plant density influenced various aspects of herb diversity.

Restoration of subtropical grasslands degraded by non-native pine plantations: effects of litter removal and hay transfer

Ana B. Porto et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of pine litter removal and hay application for restoring degraded grasslands. The results showed that passive restoration was not sufficient, but hay application could increase vegetation cover and overcome seed limitation of grassland species.

Are we ready to restore South Brazilian grasslands? Plant material and legal requirements for restoration and plant production

Rosangela Goncalves Rolim et al.

Summary: The need for grassland restoration is evident in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, but there is a limited availability of native grassland species seedlings and seeds in the local market. Furthermore, there are no clear criteria and procedures established in legal norms for grassland conversion and restoration in the region.

Identifying restoration opportunities beneath native mesquite canopies

Elise S. Gornish et al.

Summary: Effective restoration strategies are essential for combating habitat degradation caused by global environmental change. The study found that dominant species were not more likely to be distributed under mesquite canopies, and that different species responded differently to mesquite cover. Additionally, the presence of aggressive invasive species decreased under mesquite canopies, suggesting that mesquite can be used to provide a safer site for restoration efforts by reducing competitive pressure from invasives.

Vegetative spread is key to applied nucleation success in non-native-dominated grasslands

Karen D. Holl et al.

Summary: The study compared the establishment and cover of restored native grassland species in applied nucleation and full planting treatments. The results suggest that applied nucleation can be an effective restoration strategy at a small scale in non-native-dominated grasslands, particularly for species that spread vegetatively.

The present and future of grassland restoration

Peter Torok et al.

Summary: Grasslands play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity and human livelihoods, but face heavy degradation due to human land use. Restoration efforts need to address seed and site limitations, utilize new monitoring methods, manage ongoing disturbance, and harmonize global and regional restoration agendas with site-level goals. Additional research is needed to bridge gaps in knowledge and address challenges such as vegetation selection, restoration dynamics, species establishment, and post-restoration management, in order to ensure the long-term sustainability of restored grasslands.

Seasonal patterns of endozoochory by cattle in subtropical grassland in southern Brazil

Graziela Har Minervini Silva et al.

Summary: Seed dispersal by cattle plays a crucial role in grassland ecosystems, influencing plant community dynamics and regeneration. Grazing intensity affects the composition of cattle dung communities, with potential implications for grassland management and restoration efforts. Understanding seed dispersal strategies is key to improving knowledge about grassland vegetation regeneration and maintenance.
