Identifying and monitoring locally adaptive genetic variation can have direct utility for
conserving species at risk, especially when management may include actions such as …

Species dispersal, establishment, and assembly are crucial stages of the life history of
plants, and clear understanding of the governing forces and rules that shape species …

One of the main questions in ecosystem restoration is where to obtain the seeds to re-
establish plant communities. While the most commonly advocated approach is to use seeds …

The global push to achieve ecosystem restoration targets has resulted in an increased
demand for native seeds that current production systems are not able to fulfill. In many …

Ecological restoration of grasslands is increasingly based on regional seeds derived from
predefined seed transfer zones. However, the degree and spatial pattern of genetic …

Ecological restoration and plant re‐introductions aim to create plant populations that are
genetically similar to natural populations to preserve the regional gene pool, yet genetically …

While phenology data (the timing of recurring biological events) has been used to explain
and predict patterns related to global change, and to address applied environmental issues …

Active grassland restoration has gained importance in mitigating the dramatic decline of
farmnland biodiversity. While there is evidence that such operations are generally effective …

The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration calls for upscaling restoration efforts, but many
terrestrial restoration projects are constrained by seed availability. To overcome these …

Effective restoration of meadows requires seeds of local provenance to preserve not only the
species diversity but also the genetic identity of plant communities. We compared three …
