Seed production areas for the global restoration challenge

Nevill, P. G., Tomlinson, S., Elliott, C. P., Espeland, E. K., Dixon, K. W. and Merritt, D. J. (2016), Seed production areas for the global restoration challenge. Ecol Evol, 6: 7490–7497. doi:10.1002/ece3.2455

Wild-collected seed can no longer meet global demand in restoration. Dedicated Seed Production Areas (SPA) for restoration are needed and these require application of ecological, economic, and population-genetic science. SPA design and construction must embrace the ecological sustainability principles of restoration.
