Data from: What's the meaning of local? Using molecular markers to define seed transfer zones for ecological restoration in Norway
According to the Norwegian Diversity Act, practitioners of restoration in Norway are instructed to use seed mixtures of local provenance. However, there are no guidelines for how local seed should be selected. In this study, we use genetic variation in a set of alpine species (Agrostis mertensii, Av...
