Natural resource managers need adaptable tools for conserving and managing wildlife across landscapes. These tools should use many elements of habitat quality and include natural disturbance, such as...

Reclaiming disturbed industrial sites involves many challenges, with undesirable vegetation posing an obstacle to establishing native, desirable plant cover. Chemical vegetation management is an...
Resource
Cultural vegetation control is the targeted establishment of desirable species to displace or discourage undesirable species. Cultural control can be achieved using woody and non-woody species. In a...
Resource
Ingress by undesirable vegetation can be an impediment to meeting reclamation objectives on industrial sites. Mechanical vegetation controls are a common component of an integrated vegetation...
Resource
Planting is a highly reliable method to ensure the establishment of target species at desired densities on reclaimed sites. It allows direct control over the species, spacing and timing of...
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
Vegetation management is a critical component of a successful reclamation program. Reclamation activities following industrial disturbances can make many sites vulnerable to ingress by undesirable...
