Are tree seed systems for forest landscape restoration fit for purpose? An analysis of four Asian countries by Bosshard, Ennia, Jalonen, Riina, Kanchanarak, Tania, Yuskianti, Vivi, Tolentino, Enrique L., Warrier, Rekha R., Krishnan, Smitha, Dzulkifli, Dzaeman, Thomas, Evert, Atkinson, Rachel, Kettle, Christopher J.

“…Identified key constraints common to the studied countries are (i) a mismatch between the growing demand for priority native species and the limited seed supply in terms of quantity and quality, (ii) lack of effective quality control for seed of native species and (iii) lack of information about the effects of climate change on native species to guide species selection and seed sourcing and to improve the resilience of restored ecosystems. …”
