Suding argues strongly that restoration interventions should be long-term, and benchmarked by an understanding of the complexities of ancient grasslands. Such spaces have been built over centuries into ecosystems of high species diversity, whose ...

Why is grassland restoration important?
Viewing grassland restoration as long-term assembly toward old- growth endpoints, with appreciation of feedbacks and threshold shifts, will be crucial for recognizing when and how restoration can guide recovery of this globally important ecosystem.
Sep 20, 2022 · Ancient grasslands take a long time to regenerate because they have assembled over centuries (just like it is really hard to restore ancient forests… only time can do it). Moreover, it seems like in many ancient grasslands, species have a conservative strategy.
