<br>
Due to limited funding for ecological restoration little is known about outcomes 5+ years after initial implementation. In California, understanding long-term restoration outcomes in grasslands is critical because restoration is expensive, but grasslands are important for fire resiliency, carbon storage and disproportionately harbor more rare species compared to other habitats. We selected 32 grasslands from Santa Barbara to Humboldt that were 3-30 years post-restoration. In 2019 we surveyed absolute plant cover at species-level using multiple 50-m transects (3-16) scaled to site size (0.5-15ha) and resurveyed ⅔ of the sites in 2020. We conducted document analysis for sites with available documents and semi-structured interviews with one or more land manager from all sites. We used 25% native cover and 6 native species after 5 years as a standard performance metric to equivalently compare restoration outcomes across projects.<br>
<br>
We found that 82% projects were successful based on the standard performance metric, and up to 94% were successful when comparing against project-based goals determined via document analysis and semi-structured interviews. We found that non-native, cover was correlated with project age post-restoration and that non-native species was strongly negatively associated with native plant cover. Projects with more funding were related to higher species richness, but not necessarily higher species cover. Interviews with land managers revealed that practitioners agreed the largest barrier to targeted restoration outcomes is limited funding which leads to shortcomings in non-native species management and long-term monitoring. Most restoration practitioners indicated they use certain species for restoration because those species may have greater chances to germinate, survive or recruit.
