Three workshops were held to examine a suite of vegetation, soil, and habitat indicators that could potentially be used to monitor recovery in a long-term reclamation monitoring program
Resource
Data show that for many vegetation and soil indicators, wellsite development impacts are long lasting and may remain for 30 years or more after reclamation.
