Efficacy of Riparian Revegetation Projects in the Inland Pacific Northwest
… provide key ecosystem functions and services. Revegetation is a common riparian restoration practice, but there is little information available on whether revegetation projects are effective. I reviewed the efficacy of riparian revegetation projects conducted in the inland Pacific Northwest …

Investigation on Revegetation/ Phytoremediation of Campo Pisano abandoned mine area
The contaminated mine tailings rich in toxic metals pose serious environmental threats to the surrounding areas. The reclamation of these mine sites is an economically costly and technically complex process. Phytoremediation is one of the most promising techniques for sustainable, cost-effective …

Strategic revegetation planning in an agricultural landscape: A spatial information technology approach
Revegetation is required to conserve the biological diversity of over-cleared and fragmented agricultural regions. This dissertation represents an application of spatial information technologies to environmental management. It makes a significant contribution to the integration of general …

Bird perches and soil amendments as revegetation techniques for landslides in Puerto Rico
Landslides represent one of the most severe natural disturbances in tropical rainforests. The loss of the topsoil layer is detrimental to plant establishment and plant succession as it contains the soil seed bank, as well as the majority of the nutrients essential for plant growth. In this study, I …

Improving Erosion Resistance and Revegetation of Wildfire-Altered Soils Using Microbial Induced Calcite Precipitation
<p>Climate change is causing wildfires to occur more frequently and with higher intensity. Leading to wide range of impacts on agriculture, infrastructure, and the environment. Wildfires affect soils by burning their organic matter, resulting in an immediate deplete of nutrients and a significant …

Revegetation of two drained reservoirs on the Elwha River ten years after dam removal
… While several studies have examined the revegetation of these drained reservoirs, none have gone beyond 5 years since dam removal. These studies found that sediment grain size and reservoir landform (valley walls, terraces of reservoir sediment, and active riparian zones) were important …

Stochastic dynamic optimization approach for revegetation of reclaimed mine soils under uncertain weather regime
… mixture ratios required to achieve successful revegetation of mined lands at different probability levels of success, subject to an uncertain weather regime. A perennial grass growth model was modified and validated for predicting vegetation growth in reclaimed mine soils. The plant growth …

Evaluation of seed and seedling response to aid revegetation of hazardous chemical waste sites
The response of several plant species to heavy metal contaminated soils was evaluated using plant bioassays with a soil substrate. A natural soil was collected from Dinwiddie County, Virginia and soil analysis was performed. The plant species, Lolium multiflorum, setaria italica and Trifolium rep …

Prioritizing the Management of Arundo Donax: Recommendations for Removal and Revegetation in California Riparian Habitats
… removal methods, and employing passive or active revegetation. This study determined the the three highest priority removal sites applicable to a wide variety of California watersheds are: upper watershed, largest <em>A. donax</em> infestations, and infestations in close proximity to fire prone …

First-year growth and survival of habitat revegetation trials on the lower Colorado River, Mexico
… projects in the United States and show that revegetation projects are possible along the lower Colorado River in Mexico. From November 2006 to October 2007, we tested the effects of various treatments on the first-year growth and survival of irrigated mesquite seedlings (Prosopis glandulosa …

Aspects of the revegetation of mountain fynbos vegetation of the south western Cape, South Africa
The revegetation of severely, disturbed areas using indigenous vegetation forms the topic of this thesis. Mountain Fynbos was chosen for the study because of its importance as a unique vegetation-type worthy of conservation. Unfortunately, this vegetation faces long-term threats associated with …

Initial Revegetation Of Small But Severely Disturbed Areas In The Oak-Hickory Forest Of Southwest Missouri
… a late invader. A possible explanation of the revegetation process included relay floristics and intitial floristic composition. The role of random seed dispersal in the revegetation process is indicated.
