- Abstract
European grassland-breeding wading birds display species-specific responses to different types of grassland conservation (Franks et al., 2018). Our results nonetheless suggest that dedicated conservation efforts have benefited target lowland wet grassland bird species and that monitoring programs can be used to evaluate the impact of conservation interventions by creating credible counterfactuals through matching approaches.
