RestoreNet: Collaboration to Improve Success of Seed-Based Restoration on the Colorado Plateau

RestoreNet tests the effectiveness of different combinations of restoration treatments and seeded plant species in a small scale, low risk environment. Researchers co-produce this knowledge with land managers to inform practices that are likely to be successful following large-scale disturbance across the southwestern U.S. and Colorado Plateau.
