Seeding is a research area that focuses on the intentional introduction of seeds or seedlings into an environment to promote plant growth and restoration of ecosystems. This technique is commonly used in areas that have been impacted by natural disasters, deforestation, or other disturbances in order to accelerate the recovery process. Seeding can help to establish vegetation, prevent erosion, improve soil quality, and support biodiversity in degraded or damaged landscapes. Researchers in this field study the best methods for selecting and distributing seeds, as well as the long-term impacts of seeding on ecosystem recovery and resilience.
