Journal ArticleDOI
Forest restoration following surface mining disturbance: challenges and solutions
S. Ellen Macdonald,Simon M. Landhäusser,Jeff Skousen,Jennifer A. Franklin,Jan Frouz,Sarah L. Hall,Douglass F. Jacobs,Sylvie A. Quideau +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of the challenges inherent in efforts to restore mined landscapes to functioning forest ecosystems and present a synthesis of recent progress using examples from North America, Europe and Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying root system quality of nursery seedlings and relationship to outplanting performance.
TL;DR: A review of current methods of assessing seedling root system quality and discusses potential shortcomings of these methods to foster the development of species and site-specific targets for seedlingRoot system quality assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical site preparation for forest restoration
TL;DR: In this paper, the current state-of-the-art concerning mechanical site preparation for improved tree establishment when carried out in different forest restoration situations, point out critical research gaps and provide some recommendations for future directions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drought tolerance and transplanting performance of holm oak (Quercus ilex) seedlings after drought hardening in the nursery.
Pedro Villar-Salvador,R. Planelles,Juan A. Oliet,Juan L Peñuelas-Rubira,Douglass F. Jacobs,Magdalena González +5 more
TL;DR: Drought hardening increased drought tolerance primarily by affecting physiological traits, with no effect on shoot/root ratio or specific leaf mass, and reduced osmotic potential at saturation and at the turgor loss point, but enhanced cell membrane stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
A conceptual framework for restoration of threatened plants: the effective model of American chestnut (Castanea dentata) reintroduction
TL;DR: A conceptual framework for restoration of threatened plant species that encourages integration of technological, ecological, and social spheres is proposed and identifies a critical need for a deeper understanding of societal influences that may affect setting and achieving realistic restoration goals.
