The Secretary and the Secretary of Agriculture shall jointly coordinate and implement the National Seed Strategy for Rehabilitation and Restoration developed by the Plant Conservation Alliance and chaired by the Director of the Bureau of Land Management, with an emphasis on— research relating to native seed crop systems, including— agronomic research to improve the understanding of native plants as seed crops for native rangeland revegetation, with an emphasis on enhancing natural plant establishment in the environment; research on plant seed physiology to improve seed quality, storage, and seeding success in the landscape; the development and technology transfer of best management practices and technologies for seed production, seed collection, seed storage, and reseeding success in the environment; research on soil chemistry and biome composition and how soil chemistry and biome composition affect native seed establishment; and identification of scenarios and preferred species for the incorporation of nonnative seed, with the goal of the overall successful restoration of functional groups of species; the extension of research described in paragraph
(1)to seed producers and land managers responsible for restoration efforts; and the production, storage, distribution, and planting of native seed crops in grasslands areas for restoration.
