7 Chapter Soil factors are an important consideration for successful wildland range development or improvement programs. Even though many soil improvement and amelioration practices are not realistic for wildlands, their evaluation is an important step in selection of adapted plant materials for revegetation. This chapter presents information for wildland managers on: the importance of soils ph...

Abstract: Honey pollen samples of Melipona seminigra pernigraMoure & Kerr 1950 sampled between 2017 and 2019 from experimental apiaries installed in campo rupestre on canga (CRC) vegetation the Serra dos Carajás aimed to evaluated seasonal floral availability undisturbed mining-influenced areas. Around one hundred types were identified mainly belonging Fabaceae, Myrtaceae Euphorbiaceae (31,...

Bryophytes are ecologically essential to northern ecosystem restoration after disturbance. In this study, native bryophytes were used revegetate two Arctic sites. Different propagation types (small, medium, large fragments) and substrates (crushed rock, lake sediment, processed kimberlite in Canada; volcanic silt loam crushed lava rock Iceland) with erosion control treatments (with without chee...

Activities associated with agriculture, grazing, and the energy industry have altered large tracts of native rangeland in North America. Pipelining causes intense local disturbance by removal vegetation alterations to soil horizons. Following a disturbance, reclamation is required return land equivalent capability. Revegetation usually seeding and/or agronomic (non-native, dominant) species. Th...
