Ecological restoration is increasingly implemented to reverse habitat loss and concomitant
declines in biological diversity. Typically, restoration success is evaluated by measuring the …

Globally, temperate grasslands have been significantly degraded as a result of urbanisation,
grazing and agriculture. Weeds now dominate most of these ecosystems, resulting in the …

This study assessed the application of airborne imaging spectroscopy to monitor α-diversity
in restored grassland plots. The study site was located within the Central Platte River …

Revegetation by seeding is an important tool in restoration. Seeding practices for restoration
often rely on standard prescriptions for seed mix diversity and seeding rates. Seed mix …

While more and more studies are exploring the application of remote sensing in assessing
biodiversity for different ecosystems, most consider biodiversity at one point in time. Using …

Despite debates on the real impact of plant invasion on native biodiversity, there remain
many situations where exotic invasive plants must be managed and habitats restored …

Imaging spectroscopy provides the opportunity to incorporate leaf and canopy optical data
into ecological studies, but the extent to which remote sensing of vegetation can enhance …

Agricultural intensification continues to diminish many ecosystem services in the North
American Corn Belt. Conservation programs may be able to combat these losses more …

Considerable resources are spent worldwide to manage invasive plant species and
preserve the integrity and diversity of native or restored habitats and communities. Here, we …

The structure and stability of grassland ecosystems have a significant impact on biodiversity,
material cycling and productivity for ecosystem services. However, the issue of the structure …
