The Pilbara region in Australia’s arid northwest is rich in flora that is suited to extreme temperatures and boom and bust cycles of moisture availability. It is also a region important for its natural resources. In places where mining activities have finished and the land is under management for ecological restoration, there is increasing demand for information about native plant communities and the biology of their seeds.

This is the first book to combine plant identification describing 103 regional plant taxa along with guidelines for effective collection, cleaning, storage and germination of their seeds. It addresses issues such as timing of collection, quality and viability of seed, and dormancy release, which are essential for successful restoration programs.

* First ever book combining plant identification with detailed information on seed-use
* Combination of themed chapters covering all aspects of seed collection, handling, and germination biology covering a wide range of species from arid systems
* Practitioner focused and designed to be easy to use in the field
* High-resolution images to portray the subtle differences and unique features of each species biology
* Universal seed biology knowledge for use in other ecosystems (e.g. nationally and internationally)
