Abstract
Grassland restoration efforts in California include plug planting or direct seeding of native perennial grasses. These plantings are usually installed at densities intended to achieve full cover of mature plants from the planted individuals, not relying on recruitment of their progeny. Recruitment of future generations would both be reassuring for the long-term success of projects and an indication that lower density plantings might be sufficient, but restoration monitoring rarely looks for recruitment in later years (see Morgan 1999).
