Abstract

PERSPECTIVE Can We Reconstruct Grasslands to Better Resist Invasion? Kathryn A. Yurkonis on-native, invasive plant species pose a challenge This special issue outlines several approaches designed for land-management practitioners because of to maximize desired species establishment and minimize Ntheir potentially adverse effects on restoration undesired species in newly developed grasslands. These success (reviewed in D’Antonio & Meyerson 2002) and approaches mainly center around manipulating focal plant the perception that reconstructed grasslands will harbor density and richness (DiAllesandro et al. 2013, Goldblum invasive species source populations (addressed in Hirsh et al. 2013, Nemec et al. 2013, this issue).
