Mounding is a highly versatile technique for addressing site conditions that may limit forest recovery on a wide range of reclamation sites. The technique is particularly useful on wet and cool sites...
Resource
A common goal of reclamation in the boreal forest is to establish diverse, native plant communities that are suited to the site's conditions and are on track to become a forest. Regeneration planning...
Resource
Regeneration planning is key to ensuring the establishment of target vegetation rather than undesired competitors. Careful planning can accelerate regeneration by 5-10 years or more.
Resource
The footprint left by infrastructure and equipment can create different challenges for establishing vegetation. The best site preparation method depends on the limiting factors present.
Resource
