To develop the following abstracts, the editorial staff searches more than 100 scientific journals, professional and organizational newsletters, conference proceedings, and other resources for information relevant to practice and research. Please send suggested abstract sources to the editorial staff (ERjournal@aesop.rutgers.edu). Grasslands Duck Productivity in Restored Species-rich Native and Species-poor Non-native Plantings. 2013. Haffele, R.D. (South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks, Chamberlain, South Dakota, USA, ryan.haffele@state.sd.us), M.W. Eichholz and C.S. Dixon. PLoS One 8(7): e68603. In the Prairie Pothole Region of North America, the conventional method of enhancing grassland nesting duck populations in the face of native prairie habitat loss has been to plant former crop fields with cool season vegetation, termed dense nesting cover (DNC). However, productivity of ducks remains low and the diversity of grassland organisms in DNC areas is typically less than in areas of native prairie vegetation. DNC also requires significant management and therefore does not meet the restoration goal of a self-sustaining ecosystem. Haffele and colleagues assessed the duck habitat value of fields seeded with a greater number of native species than had been previously used in native grassland restoration. No significant difference in the density of nesting ducks was found between DNC sites
