Add to ORKGIn the central US, land use change has resulted in the loss and fragmentation of grassland habitats. We examined the influence of different restoration practices (burning and grazing, both separately and in combination) on native plants and grassland birds within the Loess Hills, Iowa at Broken Kettle Grasslands (BKG) Preserve in 2003-04. Vegetation characteristics varied significantly with treatment. Burned-only plots had more native plant species and a higher percentage of bare ground compared to other treatments, while grazed plots tended to have fewer shrubs, higher litter depth, and greater litter cover. Bird response to habitat restoration varied with treatment and species life history traits. Obligate grassland species, such as Grass...
