1 Restoration ecology INTRODUCTION Despite ongoing media and political debate, it is generally accepted scientifically that the Earth’s climate is changing and that human activities are, at least in part, implicated in speeding up the rate of change (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2007a). Carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere are increasing more rapidly and to higher levels than ever before experienced in human history, and climate appears to be changing such that parts of the world are experiencing record temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, more frequent intense storms and so on.
2005; Kramer & Havens 2009). We agree that a combination of molecular studies of large-scale patterns with ecological studies of local adaptation is required to assess the adaptive value of genetic variation. In view of application to ecological restoration programmes, McKay et al. ’ Note that reinforcement or reintroduction of a local population only deals with the problem of introducing genotypes from nonlocal populations of the same species, which the reader should clearly distinguish from the introduction of alien species or even unwanted exotic invaders.
