- Title
Landfills as Islands of Grassland Biodiversity: Placing a Next-Generation Habitat Restoration Plan in Context.
- Authors
Allen, Michael C.
- Abstract
Native upland grasslands, while always uncommon, have mostly vanished in the past two centuries in eastern North America due to systematic (and synergistic) changes in land use and disturbance regimes ([2]). Managed grassland preserves, such as the Shawangunk Grasslands National Wildlife Refuge in New York, are rare in the region partly due to the difficulty and high cost of managing grassland habitat where both woody vegetation and invasive species thrive ([10], [2]). Landfill Restoration for (and Despite) the Birds The specific approach of the 2019-2020 Croton Point restoration plan was very aggressive, with possible negative consequences for native wildlife, including the grassland birds it was meant to benefit.
