"Re-establishment of pollen-mediated connectivity is key to successful " by Ella R. Dunn
An essential factor in assessing the success of woodland restorations is understanding whether gene flow and connectivity between restored and remnant populations has been re-established. Without pollinator services, isolated populations can further subdivide and face concerns of inbreeding depression, which is not the target of restoration projects.
