Reintroduction of at-risk forest tree species using biotechnology depends on regulatory policy, informed by science and with public support Open
Introduced pests (insects and pathogens) have rapidly increased the numbers of at-risk native forest tree species worldwide. Some keystone species have been functionally extirpated, resulting in severe commercial and ecological losses. Whe…
