First, Dr. Erin Questad of California State Polytechnic University in Pomona will present a habitat suitability model that incorporates microtopography to improve the success of plant reintroduction, growth and survival. Demonstration results validate the utility of the model to guide outplanting efforts. Next, Mr. Matthew Hohmann of the United States Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center will discuss expanded conservation strategies and protocols developed from an operational-scale multi-year demonstration of propagating and reintroducing endangered and at-risk plant species at multiple southeastern DoD installations.
