    Cannabis sativa L. is emerging as an economically important crop, particularly for its high levels of cannabinoid production.

Analysis of reintroduction failures suggests that a sophisticated understanding of species biology, ecology, and habitat is essential for producing self-sustaining rare plant populations. This study sought to generate that background knowledge...
