OSTI ID:5646211
A broad range of interactions relative to the basic biology of plant species indigenous to Southeastern Montana is covered. The following subjects are discussed: seed dormancy; drought and salt stress effects on germination and seedling emergence; preconditioning of seed; seedling emergence and establishment under field planting; competition study; and rooting study of selected species. Many species investigated under this project have been found to possess a high potential for reestablishment on topsoiled coal mine spoils. (DC)
