A Meta-Analysis of Threatened Plant Reintroductions from across the Globe

Reintroductions and associated methods have been recommended as techniques for mitigating or redressing threatened plant species declines for several decades. Their use continues to increase as an option for overcoming problems associated with habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, and reproductive isolation (Quinn et al. 1994). However, these approaches have been criticized for the lack of monitoring and central recording, inappropriateness of the action due to genetic considerations, a lack of demographic knowledge of the donor populations, and inadequate information on the species’ habitat needs (Pearman and Walker 2004). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
