Mounding is a highly versatile technique for addressing site conditions that may limit forest recovery on a wide range of reclamation sites. The technique is particularly useful on wet and cool sites...
Resource
Seeding is less reliable than planting, and natural regeneration even less so, but these regeneration methods may be suitable, low-cost alternatives on some reclaimed sites. both seeding and natural...

A common goal of reclamation in the boreal forest is to establish diverse, native plant communities that are suited to the site's conditions and are on track to become a forest. Regeneration planning...

The footprint left by infrastructure and equipment can create different challenges for establishing vegetation. The best site preparation method depends on the limiting factors present.
