Decision letter for "Twenty years of tallgrass prairie restoration in northern Illinois, USA"

1. Ecosystem restoration projects need to measure progress toward project goals and deliver desired outcomes. 2. This study examines longitudinal plant community data collected from permanent transects at the Nachusa Grasslands preserve in northern Illinois, USA. Managers established permanent transects for repeated plant community monitoring begin-ning in the mid-1990s. plant at sustaining unique native plant communities management practices prescribed fire, brush removal and aggressive invasive species control. a disturbance-dependent ecosystem that has developed with human management over mil-lennia, tallgrass prairie and savanna can thrive through restoration and active
