Grassland restoration is a process of rebuilding grassland ecosystems
using management intervention to speed up natural recovery processes. The seeding of native
grassland plants is an example of a grassland restoration technique often aimed at replacing
late seral plant species.
In some cases, severely degraded grassland sites may have lost soil nutrients and/or other desirable soil properties. These grassland sites may require many decades for the recovery of late seral plant species to occur naturally because of undesirable soil conditions for plant establishment, growth and reproduction. Restoration of soil properties may be required first before restoration of late seral plant species can be successful.
