In the western United States the revegetation of mined land is often hampered by the semi-arid climate and local soil conditions. Specific problem sites may not be satisfactorily revegetated by seeding and certain species may not establish well from seed. In these cases planting nursery stock and transplanting native vegetation, although more expensive than seeding, can be effective.
