Description
Summary:This manual describes methods to revegetate subarctic sites with native plants. The information is based on 20 years of research and revegetation projects in Denali National Park and Preserve and other Alaskan sites. The manual summanzes information about subarctic ecosystems and discusses using this information to evaluate disturbed sites and plan revegetation projects. Revegetation techniques addressed include promoting natural revegetation, legume and wheatgrass seeding plant salvage and transplant, bioengineering, container-grown plants, alder seedlings, and willow cuttings. The appendixes present long-term data for two specific vegetation projects and for each of the 46 native plant species that have been tested or used for revegetation. --Original contains color plates: All DTIC reproductions will be in black and white.
