In a new study led by scientists at Point Blue
Conservation Science and in collaboration with The Institute for Bird Populations,
authors evaluated the successes of mountain meadow restorations by analyzing
eight years of bird data collected by field biologists. The authors concluded
that, when "pond and plug" and similar techniques were followed, the
number of birds of many species increased over time as habitat conditions
improved.
The paper, published in Restoration Ecology,
may prove of particular value to restoration practitioners, many of whom rely on
peer-reviewed scientific journal articles to guide their work.
"This paper is the culmination of many years
of work monitoring meadows. And it definitely increases the amount of evidence
we have that one of the most commonly used approaches is having the effects we
want," says Brent Campos, a lead author of the study.
