    • Another tool in the toolbox? Using fire and grazing to promote bird diversity in highly fragmented landscapes 

      Pillsbury, Finn C.; Miller, James R.; Debinski, Diane M.; Engle, David M. (Ecological Society of America, 2011-03-08)
      The grasslands of central North America have experienced drastic reductions in extent, removal of historic disturbance patterns, and homogenization of remaining fragments. This has resulted in steep declines for a broad ...

    • Nature reserves as catalysts for landscape change 

      Miller, James R.; Morton, Lois Wright; Engle, David M.; Debinski, Diane M.; Harr, Ryan N. (Ecological Society of America, 2012-02-14)
      Scientists have called repeatedly for a broader conservation agenda that emphasizes not only protected areas but also the landscapes in which those areas are embedded. We describe key advances in the science and practice ...

    • Temporal variability in aboveground plant biomass decreases as spatial variability increases 

      McGranahan, Devan Allen; Hovick, Torre J.; Elmore, R. Dwayne; Engle, David M.; Fuhlendorf, Samuel Dean; Winter, Stephen L.; Miller, James R.; Debinski, Diane M. (Ecological Society of America, 2016)
      Ecological theory predicts that diversity decreases variability in ecosystem function. We predict that, at the landscape scale, spatial variability created by a mosaic of contrasting patches that differ in time since ...

    • Using regional climate projections to guide grassland community restoration in the face of climate change 

      Kane, Kristin; Debinski, Diane M.; Anderson, Chris; Scasta, John D.; Engle, David M.; Miller, James R. (Frontiers Media, 2017-05-09)
      Grassland loss has been extensive worldwide, endangering the associated biodiversity and human well-being that are both dependent on these ecosystems. Ecologists have developed approaches to restore grassland communities ...
