In each year, I observed native plants from southern areas had more cover than native plants from northern areas. Promoting seed rain via bird perches had no effect on forb and shrub cover. I found a high cover of non-native forbs in plots seeded with grass only. Establishing native plants in degraded rangelands is an important approach for restoring community diversity, and using ecotypes adapted to future conditions may help improve seeding success. Also, declines in plant species diversity led to decreases in insect diversity.
