International practices for regenerating and restoring forest trees by seeding – an introduction

Abstract

This manuscript introduces the current special journal issue International Practices for Regenerating and Restoring Forest Trees by Seeding, for which the concept and effort to undertake were motivated within the IUFRO Task Force on Transforming Forest Landscapes for Future Climates and Human Well-Being. The journal issue, comprised of contributions from North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania, represents a significant range of seeding activities inclusive of scores of species, forests, forestation sites, and climates. Approached as an information guide and source of advancements that are being studied and applied in contemporary practice around much of the globe, International Practices for Regenerating and Restoring Forest Trees by Seeding provides a synthesis of regional practice and research intended for an audience of early career scientists, practitioners, and policy makers working in forest restoration.
