It addresses the policies that have been introduced to manage healthy ecosystems and the practical progress that is being made in restoration. A particular focus is on the production of diverse native plant materials currently required by the National Seed Strategy. Case studies demonstrate how native plant materials are essential to support the conservation of healthy ecosystems with their biodiversity and functions as well as supporting a productive and sustainable agricultural sector and healthy ecosystems for all. The authors are closely connected with major national and international networks of botanic gardens, ecologists and conservation scientists at Board level and through other professional links. Condensing a wide range of current information into a concise format, this book fills a need by experts and informed amateurs interested in the natural environment, including gardeners, botanic garden and protected area visitors, government agencies, the private sector native seed industry, and NGOs. 000914922 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 3, 2019). 000914922 650_0 $$aWilderness areas$$zUnited States. 000914922 650_0 $$aPlant diversity$$zUnited States. 000914922 650_0 $$aRestoration ecology$$zUnited States. 000914922 7001_ $$aOlwell, Margaret. 000914922 7001_ $$aShaw, Nancy L.$$q(Nancy Lynn),$$d1947- 000914922 7001_ $$aHavens-Young, Kayri. 000914922 830_0 $$aSpringer earth system sciences. 000914922 852__ $$bebk 000914922 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-96974-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000914922 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:914922$$pGLOBAL_SET 000914922 980__ $$aEBOOK 000914922 980__ $$aBIB 000914922 982__ $$aEbook 000914922 983__ $$aOnline 000914922 994__ $$a92$$bISE
