There Used to be a Lot of Tallgrass Prairie

Reasons For Loss• Habitat destruction• Fragmentation• Lack of Natural Disturbances
(e.g. fire and large free roaming herbivores)

“If competition is an important determinant of plant community structure, then the competitive ability of the dominant species will influence the entire community.”*
Problem: Choice of dominant species seed sources (local, non-local, and cultivar) could effect the successof restoration / conservation efforts.
*Tilman 1988
Seed Source Issues
What is the provenance?Does it matter?
![Page 10: Should we use wild-collected ecotypes or cultivars for prairie restoration? An experimental test.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070523/58ed8bb41a28ab93148b45f7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Prairie grass cultivars: artificially selected for “agronomic” traits.
Reduced phenotypic variation
Cultivars are genetically distinct from natural populations
Cultivars are physiologically different when compared between native vs. restored prairie
Seed Source: Artificial Cultivars vs. Natural Selected Genotypes

Cultivars Look Different

• Adapted to local conditions = Ecotypes
• Presumed to establish better, provision resources to higher trophic levels at the most appropriate time, and restore biotic interactions.
• Minimize evolutionary risk to local populations
• outbreeding depression• loss of local adaptation
Rationale for Using ‘Local’ Sources
![Page 13: Should we use wild-collected ecotypes or cultivars for prairie restoration? An experimental test.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070523/58ed8bb41a28ab93148b45f7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Difficult to define “local”• Vary with life history traits• Genetic variation can correspond with
environmental variation at small scales.
• Small local populations can harbor low genetic diversity
• May not be best adapted to degraded conditions or future conditions
• Limited knowledge • Few tests of ecotypic variation in species
used to restore communities• Ecological consequences unknown
Controversy about ‘Local’ Sources

Should We Use Wild-Collected Ecotypes or Cultivars for Prairie Restoration?
Spoiler: Either, but be careful.Slideshare: http://bit.ly/1MyBXUa
![Page 36: Should we use wild-collected ecotypes or cultivars for prairie restoration? An experimental test.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070523/58ed8bb41a28ab93148b45f7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Conclusions: Should We Use Wild-Collected Ecotypes or Cultivars for Prairie Restoration?
• ‘Local’ cultivars of dominant grasses suitable for restoration.• Limited effect of population source, short-lived, geographically
variable.• Species pool (species mix) effects stronger.• Origin of cultivars can be geographically close to local ecotypes;
similar genetic diversity. • Ecotypes exhibit ‘home-site’ advantage.

Future Challenges
• Climate change • Local may not be best• Plasticity, migration,
adaptation• Seed storage capacity(Adapted from Havens et al. 2015)
