As we approach the Decade of Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030), there is renewed focus
on improving wetland restoration practices to reestablish the habitat and climate mitigation …

Knowledge on seed ecology is foundational for effective seed‐based restoration including
seedling production, direct seed sowing, topsoil transplant, and natural regeneration …

Restoration ecologists devote considerable time and resources to understanding the role of
functional traits in community assembly and ecosystem functioning. However, while …

Native seed for restoration is in high demand, but widespread habitat degradation will likely
prevent enough seed from being sustainably harvested from wild populations to meet this …

Grasslands converted to agricultural land use can be reestablished by sowing seeds of
native species and temporal dynamics of diversity under altered climate can inform …

Intraspecific variation in phenotypic traits of seagrasses enables populations to tolerate
varying environmental conditions and facilitates population persistence and expansion …

Phylogenetic and functional diversity are relevant for restoration planning, as they influence
important ecosystem functions and services. However, it is unknown whether initial …

Assessing the appropriateness of existing native plant materials can both determine which
seed source to utilize for restoration projects, and identify locations for which new seed …

Dryland restoration requires plant materials capable of performing well despite difficult
growing conditions. Selecting plant materials with higher intraspecific trait variability (ITV) …

Effective native plant materials are critical to restoring the structure and function of
