Here, we determined the optimal sowing period for two native species, Agastache rugosa (Korean mint) and Astilbe rubra (False goat\u2019s beard), toward their use for ecological restoration of Mt. Gariwang, a site damaged by the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics\u2019 activities. We investigated the effects of daily mean temperature (DMT) and daily temperature range (DTR) on seed germination percentage, which decreased for both species with decreasing DTR and was optimal at a DMT of 25 \u00b0C and 17.5 \u00b0C for A. rugosa and A. rubra, respectively. We developed a single multiple regression equation that evaluated the effects of DMT and DTR simultaneously and determined the temperature scores when the germination percentage reached 85%. We applied the developed multiple regression equation by analyzing the temperature data of the restoration site. In addition, precipitation data analysis was added to set the optimal sowing period. As a result, the optimal sowing period for the two species was determined from May 21 to the end of May. This makes it possible to minimize seed consumption and labor requirements when sowing seeds. The model developed herein will be useful not only to guide the ecological restoration of Mt. Gariwang, but also for other regions using site-specific temperature data.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/plants10081506","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,22]],"date-time":"2021-07-22T22:35:31Z","timestamp":1626993331000},"page":"1506","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Improving Restoration Efficiency by Modeling Optimal Sowing Periods: A Case Study of Two Native Plants and Restoration of a Site"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Young-Ho","family":"Jung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Wild Plant Seeds Research, Baekdudaegan National Arboretum, Bonghwa 36209, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JunHyeok","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Wild Plant Seeds Research, Baekdudaegan National Arboretum, Bonghwa 36209, Korea"},{"name":"Department of Integrative Plant Science, School of Bioresource and Bioscience, Chung-Ang University, Anseong 17546, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chung-Youl","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Wild Plant Seeds Research, Baekdudaegan National Arboretum, Bonghwa 36209, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hee-Seung","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Integrative Plant Science, School of Bioresource and Bioscience, Chung-Ang University, Anseong 17546, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"YoSup","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Citrus Research Institute, National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science, RDA, Jeju 63607, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"217","article-title":"Flora and vegetation of resources plants in the Mt.
