The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Center is offering a grant to a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partner. This funding supports research into the efficacy of oak savanna restoration across the Great Lakes region. The project will employ state-of-the-art vegetation and ecosystem sampling and analysis to investigate how effectively land managers have restored groundlayer vegetation in remnant and degraded oak savanna ecosystems. It will examine the impact of degradation factors such as fire suppression, grazing, and woody harvest, and assess the potential for successful restoration within the Great Lakes basin based on management actions.

| Description: | U.S. Geological Surveyâ¿¿s (USGS) Great Lakes Center is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research on â¿¿Efficacy of Oak Savanna Restoration in the Great Lakes.â¿ This research effort will use state of the art vegetation and ecosystem sampling and analysis methodology to investigate the efficacy of oak savanna restoration across the broad geographical region of the Great Lakes. The goal of this research is to understand how effective land managers have been in restoring groundlayer vegetation in remnant and degraded oak savanna ecosystems. Degradation may include fire suppression, grazing, woody harvest and other human impacts in response to management actions degradation and potential for restoration in the Great Lakes basin. |
