However, what “native” means to different individuals and groups is often poorly understood. Inconsistent definition of native status (“nativity”) may complicate implementation or endorsement of conservation activities, particularly those involving revegetation. Professionals in plant-related fields are typically responsible for developing revegetation projects as well as regulations that apply to these projects. To assess how definition criteria may differ between groups we developed a questionnaire that asked respondents to assess native status in 13 hypothetical revegetation scenarios. A total of 303 questionnaires were evaluated with respondents from 33 states. Different respondent groups responded differently in certain scenarios. Where differences existed, professionals in plant-related fields were more likely to regard plants native than non-professionals. Respondents associated with Native Plant Societies (NPS) were less likely to designate plants as native than non-NPS respondents. Successful conservation activities with native plants should involve open and precise definition of nativity.

Plants for Ecological Restoration: A Foundation and a Philosophy for the Future / Terrance D. Booth in Native Plants Journal, 2 (1) (2001) 

Public Citation [article]  inNative Plants Journal > 2 (1) (2001) . - 12-20 Titre : Plants for Ecological Restoration: A Foundation and a Philosophy for the Future Type de document : Imprimé Auteurs : Terrance D. Booth ; Thomas A. Jones (1942-) Année de publication : 2001 Article en page(s) : 12-20 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Today’s conservation concerns range from rare plant preservation to landscapes threatened by alien annuals. Effective action follows effective decision-making based on appropriately framed questions. We present the restoration gene pool (RGP) concept as a framework for choosing plant materials based on the priorities of the species, plant communities, systems, and landscapes threatened. We couch our discussion in an acknowledgment of 65 y of national plant materials progress that has evolved with society’s priorities and has maintained a high degree of cooperation among participating entities. The plant materials program and its cooperators have contributed the bulk of the material and technology now used in ecosystem restoration and are our foundation for meeting conservation challenges of the future. Using a discussion of the genetics of native plant materials and 2 conservation challenges, we illustrate how the RGP concept can be used to select plant materials based on their ability to meet priority concerns.
