Seed enhancement: getting seeds restoration‐ready (2020, background): “However, fewer than 10% of seeds deployed to fieldbased successfully establish to produce a mature plant (James et al. 2011; Merritt et al. 2011; Ceccon et al. 2016).”
Advances in restoration ecology: rising to the challenges of the coming decades (2015, background): “…a systems approach, has highlighted the connected nature of processes ranging from seed procurement at scale, breaking of dormancy and emergence, to early establishment and subsequent maturation of the young plant at restoration sites (James et al. 2011, Merritt and Dixon 2011, James et al. 2013).”
Dormancy and germination: making every seed count in restoration (2020, background): “%) of plant establishment failure and seed wastage (James et al. 2011; Merritt & Dixon 2011; Commander et al. 2013; James et al. 2013).”
Regeneration: an overlooked aspect of trait‐based plant community assembly models (2016, background): “transition from seed to emerged seedling, even though these stages may be unrelated and associated with different filters and traits (James et al. 2011; Larson et al. 2015b).”
Production of greenhouse‐grown biocrust mosses and associated cyanobacteria to rehabilitate dryland soil function (2016, background): “This may prove valuable in a restoration context, where biocrusts would avoid the severe seedling bottleneck phase suffered by native vascular plants (James et al. 2011).”
