Article Synopsis
  • The primary aim of rare plant translocation is to establish self-sustaining populations that can endure over time, but most studies only analyze short-term success metrics like survival and reproduction.
  • A comprehensive analysis of 275 monitored at-risk plant translocations revealed that management techniques play a critical role in short-term success, while site attributes and species traits are more significant for long-term population persistence.
  • Key findings indicated that larger founder sizes enhance reproductive potential, whereas poor habitat quality and low seed production in species heighten the risk of extinction in the long run; effective management can help mitigate these challenges.
