The Galena Hill Ecosystem Map (GHEM) was initially developed to provide information about existing plant communities and their growth conditions to guide upcoming reclamation efforts at the historical silver mining area around Keno, Yukon. Disturbed areas and soil covers on mine wastes will need to be vegetated to reduce soil erosion, enable evapotranspiration and eventually integrate with the surrounding e GHEM project used the guidelines develop by the Yukon's Ecological and Landscape Classification (ELC) working group.
