New paper led by Riley Pizza:

Where should they come from? Where should they go? Several measures of seed source locality fail to predict plant establishment in early prairie restorations

Lots of food for thought about seed sourcing for restoration. Great job, Riley!

The genuine academic relief when a book is helpful, adjacent to your subject, but has a big ole gap in it's coverage that puzzle pieces into your work!!

@jgpausas YES this is fantastic and I'm glad to say I know a few of the contemporary artists on here! This is so great!
