Restored and degraded ecosystems may take many years to recover. During that time, they need ongoing management because most restorations receive continuous pressure from invasive species. Natural disturbance events like fire, floods, or bison grazing no longer happen as they once did.
Techniques used in two broad categories of management strategies are presented in this course: re-establishing natural disturbances and controlling invasive species. These strategies are useful for managing vegetation in restored ecosystems after initial establishment and in ecosystems that can be restored solely by implementing management practices, for example, restoring natural communities that do not require planting or seeding.
It is strongly recommended, but not required, that students complete Site Assessment for Ecological Restoration before taking the other courses in the series, as it lays the groundwork for the subsequent courses.
