Billions of hectares of natural ecosystems have been degraded through human actions. The
global community has agreed on targets to halt and reverse these declines, and the …

Biodiversity conservation requires conserving evolutionary potential—the capacity for wild
populations to adapt. Understanding genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics is critical …

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 …

Assisted gene flow between populations has been proposed as an adaptive forest
management strategy that could contribute to the sequestration of carbon. Here we provide …

Seed mixes used for postfire seeding in the Great Basin are often selected on the basis of
short-term rehabilitation objectives, such as ability to rapidly establish and suppress invasive …

On the Ground• Using native species in seed-based restoration efforts is critical for
recreating or maintaining healthy, resistant, and resilient ecosystems and communities in the …

Restoration guidelines increasingly recognize the importance of genetic attributes in
translocating native plant materials (NPMs). However, when species‐specific genetic …

The spatial structure of genomic and phenotypic variation across populations reflects
historical and demographic processes as well as evolution via natural selection …

Local adaptation features critically in sha** species responses to changing environments,
complicating efforts to revegetate degraded areas. Rapid climate change poses an …

Endangered species are often characterized by low genetic diversity and it is imperative for
conservation efforts to incorporate the knowledge obtained from genetic studies for effective …
