Abstract

When habitats have been destroyed or significantly damaged restoration efforts are often needed to return the habitat to a functional, usable, and healthy state. Use of the correct native plants is paramount to the success of the project. Seeds for use in revegetation projects are either collected from wild populations or harvested from commercial stands. For several species of native Utah forbs, collection of wild seeds is impractical and seeds are not available commercially in bulk amounts. This severely limits or eliminates the use of these native Utah forbs in wildland restoration projects.
