On examples of n × 100 m2 permanent plots laid in 2005 on peatlands disturbed by quarrying and milling peat extraction Meshchera National Park (central European Russia), changes vegetation cover environmental factors during self-revegetation, the impact wildfire, rewetting are considered. Peat pits overgrown with floating mats, which mire, predominantly mesotrophic, is formed. Cofferdams retain...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS In wetland plant communities, species-specific responses to pulses of white light and to red : far-red light ratios can vary widely and influence plant emergence from the seed bank. Carex species are the characteristic plants of sedge meadows of natural prairie wetlands in mid-continental USA but are not returning to restored wetlands. Little is known about how light affects...

This paper presents the methodology developed by the association of Mineração Rio do Norte S.A. with Embrapa/Agrobiologia and the Soil Department of Federal University of Viçosa to promote revegetation of tailings ponds from bauxite mining in Porto Trombetas, Para State, Brazil. The tailings have a fine texture (77% clay), are low in nutrients, have low pH (4.5) and high Pfixation capacity. Thi...

a long-term study was conducted between 1985 and 2003 on rehabilitation trials at sishen ironore mine, south africa, to identify grass species that would survive in the artificial growth medium appliedto the sites, and to determine the most suitable medium for sustainable vegetation growth. vegetationestablishment was tested at slopes of 18° and 34° and with five different cover materials. afte...

Phytoremediation is a technology that uses plants for the remediation of the contaminated soils, sediments, tailings, and groundwaters. In this work, the ability of TrifoliumAlexanderium for the phytoremediation of the tailings soil in the Anjir-Tange coal washing plant was investigated. For this purpose, Trifolium sp. was cultivated in three soils consisting of the tailings dam, an agricultura...

Compost-assisted phytostabilization has recently emerged as a robust alternative for reclamation of metalliferous mine tailings. Previous studies suggest that root-associated microbes may be important for facilitating plant establishment on the tailings, yet little is known about the long-term dynamics of microbial communities during reclamation. A mechanistic understanding of microbial communi...

The aim of this study was to develop a method that will use satellite imagery to identify areas of high forest growth and productivity, as a primary input in prioritising revegetation sites for carbon sequestration. Using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite data, this study analysed the annual net primary production (NPP) values (gC/m) of images acquired from 200...

Revegetation with herbaceous plants has been effective in neutralizing land degradation; however, there is limited understanding about the water use characteristics and influences on soil dynamics of revegetated species for ecological restoration. Hence, stable isotopic composition xylem water, groundwater was measured to investigate uptake patterns Bromus inermis Medicago sativa semi-arid agro...

Tropical peatland is remaining to play a critical geographic, political, and economic role in globalization. Revegetation maintains vegetation cover on peat able increase humidity decreasing fire risks. The selection of adaptable plants that growing are the main factors revegetation accomplishment. location research was forest Pulantani village, Haur Gading District, Hulu Sungai Utara Regency, ...

Invasion by the non-native tree Tamarix has led to implementation of restoration projects aimed at maintaining the ecological integrity of many riparian communities in the southwestern United States. These restoration efforts may include Tamarix removal, manipulation of hydrologic regimes, and active revegetation of native species. The goal of this study was to determine which site characterist...
