RestoreNet is a restoration field trial network co-produced by scientists and land managers that, since 2017, has systematically produced and tested restoration treatments across a growing network of 23 sites spanning environmental gradients in the Southwest U.S.. RestoreNet treatments include use of different seed mixes, periods of seeding, outplanting greenhouse-grown seedlings, soil surface modifications, soil microbial inoculations, seedballs, and targeted livestock grazing. This webinar presentation will summarize lessons learned from RestoreNet over the past nine years and distill results into best management practices for land managers and restoration practitioners across the Southwest.
