"Restoration of native plants in degraded wetlands is essential to recover native plant communities and the critical ecosystem services they provide. These services include supporting biodiversity, improving water quality, providing wildlife habitat, sequestering carbon, and mitigating drought, flooding, and wildfire impacts (Kettenring & Galatowitsch, 2007a). Seeds are commonly used in restoration due to their broader availability, cost effectiveness, and greater scalability than plants. However, seed
dormancy can challenge seed-based restoration of wetlands."
