Should I plant or should I sow? Restoration outcomes compared across seven riparian revegetation projects

Joe Greet, Fiona Ede, Dan Robertson, Scott McKendrick

Journal article  |  2019  |  ECOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT & RESTORATION

To revegetate native plant communities, it is often cheaper to direct seed than to plant nursery-grown stock. However, the outcome..
