Grasslands bird occupancy of native warm‐season grass

Abstract: Grassland birds have declined more than any other guild in the United States because of loss and degradation of native grasslands. The United States Department of Agriculture Farm Bill programs have restored some native warm‐season grasses (NWSG), but populations of many grassland bird species continue to decline. Market‐based NWSG uses focused on hay, pasture, and biofuel feedstock may be more appealing to landowners, and may still provide grassland bird habitat on the landscape. We examined breeding grasslan… Show more

“…Grazing may be an even more important component of natural disturbance regimes in North American grasslands (Knapp et al , Askins et al ) and can play an important role in bobwhite conservation (Skinner , George at al. , Fuhlendorf et al , Rollins and Koennecke , West et al ). Grazing by ungulates (bison [ Bison bison ], cattle, elk [ Cervus canadensis ]; Hobbs ) serves several other important roles (Knapp et al ), including disturbing soil to encourage seed germination (Elson and Hartnett ), maintaining grass quality by discouraging plant aging (Fahnestock and Detling ), and encouraging nutrient cycling and returning nutrients via waste (e.g., urea; Day and Detling , Frank and Zhang , Frank et al , Pineiro et al ) to the soil.…”

“…For example, within the Fescue Belt, there are approximately 290,000 beef cattle operations that in 2012 supported 12 million beef cows and produced 19% of the nation's calf crop with a value of US$9.2 billion in direct sales (USDA‐NASS ). In such an extensive, production agriculture environment, providing market‐based and revenue‐positive options may be the optimum path forward for promoting grasslands beneficial to conservation of at‐risk wildlife (Monroe et al 2016, ; West et al ). One such opportunity is use of perennial, native warm‐season grasses (NWSGs) such as switchgrass, big bluestem, indiangrass, and little bluestem.…”
