Soil and compost tea: A new restoration technique?
… have lacked the plant diversity seen in remnant prairies. Most restoration practices focus on reestablishing the plant community but overlook the soil microbial community even though microbes are critical to habitat functioning. Developing techniques that increase soil microbes in prairie …

EFFECTS OF TIME, SEED SOURCE, AND PLANT COMPOSITION ON MACROINVERTEBRATES IN RESTORED PRAIRIE
… macroinvertebrates community structure in restored prairie. A chronosequence design (space for time substitution) was used to determine the role of restoration age, plant community, and soil structure on the recovery of two belowground macroinvertebrate ecosystem engineers (Chapter 2). Ants …

When do propagules matter? The role of ecological filters and regeneration dynamics during community assembly in tallgrass prairie restorations
… quantified across an 11-year chronosequence of restored prairies and in prairie remnants to elucidate the degree to which the germinable seed bank, emerged seedlings, belowground buds, and emerged ramets were related to community regeneration. There were no directional patterns in the abundance, …

Prairie Restoration and Species Diversity: A Comparison of Propagation Success Between Seeded and Planted Forbs
… water runoff and soil erosion. Economically the prairies have provided medicines, commercial forbs, and aesthetically pleasing landscapes for humans. Society is dependent on the rich soils these prairies have provided for agriculture and for prevention of erosion and water runoff. With less than …

Processes determining plant species diversity in restored tallgrass prairie
… restoration of plant diversity. Because remnant prairies are rare, prairie restoration projects are now very common, and the size and longevity of grassland plants makes them easy to measure and manipulate. Here, we present the first synthetic study to test the relative importance of soil …
