Approach

Mitigate consequences of large disturbances by planning ahead.

Tactics

  • Develop a gene conservation plan for ex situ collections for long-term storage.
  • Identify areas important for in situ gene conservation.
  • Maintain a seed inventory with high-quality seed for a range of species, particularly species that may do well in the future under hotter and drier conditions.
  • Increase production of native plant materials for post-flooding plantings.
