Restoring impaired ecosystems requires a supply of diverse native plant
seeds that are well suited to the climates, soils, and other living species
of the system--such seeds are not readily available in many parts of the
country. *An Assessment of Native Seed Needs and the Capacity for Their
Supply
<https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/26618/an-assessment-of-native-seed-needs-and-the-capacity-for-their-supply>*,
a recently released report from the National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine, examines the needs for native plant restoration
and other activities, provides recommendations for improving the
reliability, predictability, and performance of the native seed supply, and
presents an ambitious agenda for action. Join Dr. Susan Harrison and Dr.
Elizabeth Leger as they highlight conclusions and recommendations in
connection to challenges facing our natural landscapes and the need for a
coordinated public-private effort to scale-up and secure a cost-effective
national native seed supply.   *PRINT ABSTRACT
