Summary:

Plant reintroduction is an established technique for conserving rare plant species that may not otherwise survive. This volume offers a comprehensive review of plant reintroduction projects and protocols, and discusses the potential role of reintroduction and managed relocation for preserving species threatened by climate change.

Plant Reintroduction in a Changing Climate is part of the series The Science and Practice of Ecological Restoration, from the Society for Ecological Restoration and Island Press. Book jacket.
