What Seeds to Plant in the Great Basin? Comparing Traits Prioritized in Native Plant Cultivars and Releases with those that Promote Survival in the Field (2015, background): “Because we see restoration as an opportunity to maintain diversity in wild plant populations, we agree with others (Johnson et al. 2010) who advocate the use of increases from wild populations within ecoregions or seed zones (Bower et al. 2014).”
Contemporary forest restoration: A review emphasizing function (2014, background): “The current paradigm for proper transfer of plant materials from site to site is that, in general, locally-adapted material is best (Gustafson et al., 2005; Johnson et al., 2010).”
Application of genetic diversity–ecosystem function research to ecological restoration (2014, background): “Cultivars have characteristics optimal for establishment – such as high germination rates, productivity and stress tolerance – even when sites are highly degraded or situated within degraded landscapes (Lesica & Allendorf 1999; Jones 2003; McKay et al. 2005; Johnson et al. 2010).”
