Rare vascular plant species at risk: recovery by seeding?

1998-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Rare vascular plant species are endangered worldwide. Population losses are most commonly caused by human‐related factors. Conservation management seeks to halt this adverse trend and if possible, to enhance long‐lasting self‐sustainable populations. In general, rare species are poorly recruited from seed banks, or disperse themselves very poorly. It may be a management option to translocate such plants by seeds a...
