Abstract/Summary:
In both Europe and the United States, certification of native seed and plants across biogeographic regions, developing new market niches for growers, and providing increased stability in demand are all critical issues to increasing the availability and expanding the use of native materials. Tools to aid in selection of appropriate plant materials for restoration in light of climate change, issues of ex situ and in situ conservation of species and communities and discussions surrounding assisted migration are all critical to the future of ecological restoration on both continents.
