Book Description
In order for restoration to meet its full potential, we must disentangle mechanisms that drive community trajectories with attention to those that can be manipulated by practitioners. Community assembly theory proposes that ecological communities are contingent upon dispersal and environmental filtering processes during establishment. We leveraged an ongoing sagebrush steppe restoration project to test the relative influence of restoration age and establishment conditions on composition and traits. We surveyed 13 sites for over a decade post-seeding and collected data on 5 functional traits in restored and reference communities. Sites were seeded with different mixes across multiple years and represented gradients of soil texture and productivity. Using multivariate analyses and mixed effects models to quantify trajectories, we determined the relative influence of drivers and tested the predictability of traits compared to compositional metrics. Communities followed clear successional paths with age but did not meet targets after 11 years. Trajectories were also mediated by establishment conditions. Climatic variation between planting years frequently explained as much or more variation in outcomes as soil properties and seed mix design, especially for trait metrics which were less responsive to time. Overall predictability was not higher for trait metrics, however, the fact that traits were more responsive to climatic factors was consistent with theory. Our findings support the existence of persistent establishment contingencies which affect species and traits in distinct ways through time. Restoration success may be improved by considering climatic variation and timing of planting, factors which are largely ignored under the current paradigm.

Book Description
With its unmatchable mountains and broad vistas, it is difficult today to imagine that the land of the Tetons could be anything but a national park. But for over fifty years, the question of national park status remained unsettled as a myriad of public and private interests fought for control over Jackson Hole and the Tetons. Many divergent views of conservation and land use had their hearing in Jackson Hole during the long struggle to establish the Park. Rugged individualists, cattlemen, Easterners, "New Dealers," "state's righters," state of Wyoming officials, Forest Service personnel, and Park Service leaders all wanted hegemony over Jackson Hole and the Tetons. The way in which they cajoled, fought, sued each other and ultimately resolved the issue is a classic case in the difficulties of park-making. Grand Teton National Park is thus no product of chance, but rather the design of men and women working in a noble cause. What they achieved was, Righter suggests, "perhaps the most notable conservation victory of the twentieth century."
