Abstract
While gene flow is important to the maintenance of diversity and connectivity across grassland ecosystems, it can be associated with risk, particularly if seed transfer increases the likelihood of introducing nonnative species into areas they have not reached. Understanding when hybridization may be viewed as a conservation threat or a conservation tool will be important to species conservation (Chan I et al. i , [10]). There are clear benefits to establishing seed selection, production and transfer guidance for native grassland species, and there is much to be learned from the existing expertise implemented across different systems (Breed I et al. i , [5]; Bucharova I et al. i , [8]).
