The revegetation of areas impacted by iron mining may be hampered a series chemical and physical impediments exhibited those areas. Physical problems, such as penetration resistance steep slopes, outweigh the that both should considered for soil recovery. This study aimed to evaluate main attributes are directly related plant growth on affected activities discussing possible solutions. For this...

Restoration planting is undertaken widely in rural landscapes to promote more sustainable land use, such as reforesting agricultural land, and enhance nature conservation. Land managers community groups have a key role delivering these actions can also contribute monitoring the outcomes. Here, we describe protocol developed assist practitioners assess survival of plant species restoration plant...

Soil microbial communities link soil and plants play a key role in connecting above-ground below-ground terrestrial ecosystems. Currently, how artificial revegetation promotes the restoration of community diversity degraded ecosystems attracts extensive attention. In this study, samples were collected from long-term artificially restored mobile sandy lands (aerial seeding sample plots) 1983 to ...

Ecologists and land managers around the world are charged with first arresting and then reversing declines in native species. Revegetation has been proposed as one of the mechanisms by which landscapes can be rehabilitated to support viable populations of native wildlife. Because large-scale revegetation often proves to be technically difficult and costly, it is critical to evaluate the likely ...

Spectral signatures represent complex physical and biophysical relationships. Consideration and documentation of potential variables affecting these signatures are essential in obtaining meaningful spectra. A lack of standardised procedures and metadata collection has limited the transfer of spectra from one application to another. Here we describe the design and implementation of a standard me...

Abstract—Genetic diversity in plant materials used for revegetation of disturbed sites is important to allow natural selection and adaptation to occur. Several methods for estimation of genetic diversity using molecular markers are available. Protein markers, such as isozymes and seed storage proteins, have been used extensively, but their use has declined in recent years in favor of DNA marker...
