Seed-Transfer Guidelines for Important Tree Species in the Eastern United States

This guidebook was created to provide science-based seed-transfer information for important tree species in the Eastern United States in an accessible, easy-to-reference format. The intended audience is nursery managers, land managers, and anyone tasked with making decisions about appropriate seed sources. This guidebook was prompted by increasing demands for seed- transfer information pertaining to assisted migration, or the intentional movement of seed sources from warmer to cooler climates to account for changing climate. This guidebook includes southern pines but is intended for populations occurring along the northern range edges where southern pines are currently scarce or may not occur yet.
