Genetic diversity enhances restoration success by augmenting ecosystem services.

Abstract excerpt

Disturbance and habitat destruction due to human activities is a pervasive problem in near-shore marine ecosystems, and restoration is often used to mitigate losses. A common metric used to evaluate the success of restoration is the return of ecosystem services.
