OSTI ID:5179513
Shrubs are an important component of plant communities in southeastern Montana. Re-establishment of the majority of native shrubs by seed on surface coal mine lands has not been generally successful. Field plantings at the Rosebud Mine of 25 shrub and half-shrub species were initiated in 1978 using seed from native populations. Three species Atriplex canescens, Atriplex nuttallii and Ceratoids lanata establish numerous seedlings in both wet and dry years. No emergence was obtained from 12 species.
