Western Forbs: Biology, Ecology, and Use in Restoration

All steps of the Seed Supply Chain: Planning, collecting, Field production, Certification, Processing and storage, Planting and monitoring

The Western Forbs: Biology, Ecology, and Use in Restoration project is designed to aid seed collectors, seed growers, nurserymen, landowners, restoration practitioners, and land managers as they increase the supply and use of native forbs.

Seeding Evaluation and Experimental Design Strategies (SEEDS) for Restoration

Seeding Planting Monitoring Graphic

Implementation of the SEEDS experimental restoration framework can move management options toward strategic treatments that increase project success, reduce the need for repeated treatments, and reduce costs. We will restore functional and resilient Great Basin ecosystems through, 1) experiments using local management and researcher knowledge, 2) monitoring a suite of integrated ecosystem processes, 3) determining…
