| description | 1. In California's Central Valley, most native grasslands have been destroyed or degraded due to invasion, farming and development. Grassland restoration is often assumed to provide improved wildlife habitat, ostensibly increasing the abundance and diversity of at least some native wildlife species relative to unrestored, invaded annual grasslands. 2. We compared rodent, snake and raptor activity and species richness at paired unrestored and restored grasslands across four blocked locations in the Central Valley using trapping and observational surveys in up to four seasons per guild from 2014 to 2015. Restored treatments were planted with native perennial grasses 13-24 years prior to study initiation but were partially re-invaded by Mediterranean annual grasses and forbs. Unrestored treatments contained similar non-native plant species assemblages as restored treatments, but did not contain any native grass. 3. Rodent, snake and raptor activity was generally higher in unrestored relative to restored treatments. For rodents, the non-native Mus musculus (house mouse) showed the greatest disparity in abundance, while greater raptors and snakes likely responded to greater rodent abundance. 4. Within treatments, species-specific rodent responses were related to structure of physical vegetation. In particular, Peromyscus maniculatus (native deer mouse) was associated with more bare ground and shorter vegetation, while the house mouse was associated with less bare ground and taller vegetation, regardless of treatment type. Substantial changes in rodent species composition were observed over short periods of time ( |

Synthesis and applications. Our results reveal that while grassland restoration may promote persistence of native plant communities, restoration may not be beneficial to some higher trophic levels, and in fact may reduce habitat value for some native predators in grasslands invaded by Mediterranean plant species. Changes in vegetation structure can strongly impact wildlife species composition, suggesting a more nuanced approach is required for the restoration of desired wildlife communities. Thus, species-specific goals should be carefully considered to ensure improved alignment of restoration methods with expected restoration outcomes.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0021-8901</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1365-2664</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1111/1365-2664.12990</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Oxford: John Wiley & Sons Ltd</publisher><subject>Abundance ; Biodiversity ; Birds of prey ; Environmental restoration ; exotic species ; Flowers & plants ; Forbs ; Grasses ; grassland ; Grasslands ; Habitat improvement ; habitat management ; herpetofauna ; Indigenous plants ; Introduced species ; Invasive species ; Livestock ; Livestock grazing ; Mus musculus ; native species ; Peromyscus maniculatus ; Plant communities ; Plant populations ; Predators ; raptor ; Restoration ; rodent ; Rodents ; snake ; Snakes ; Species composition ; Species diversity ; Species richness ; trophic interactions ; Trophic levels ; Vegetation ; vegetation management ; weed management ; Wildlife ; Wildlife habitats</subject><ispartof>The Journal of applied ecology, 2018-05, Vol.55 (3), p.1133-1144</ispartof><rights>2018 British Ecological Society</rights><rights>2017 The Authors.
