Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) monocultures were investigated as a land cover alternative to typical airfield grasslands to reduce use by wildlife species hazardous to aircraft and provide cost-effective risk mitigation. Paired sites of switchgrass monocultures and controls (i.e., extant airfield grasslands) were installed across six installations (3 airfields and 3 civil airports): Columbus Air Force Base (CAFB), Dayton International Airport (DAYT), Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTWA), Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRFI), NAS Whiting Field (WHIT), and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAF).
