Plantings on northwestern New Mexico raw mine spoils from 1973, examined for establishment (1975) and survival (1979), showed 75% survival of fourwing saltbush (Atriplex canescens (Pursh) Nutt.), each plant occupying 2.32 m/sup 2/ (1.52 x 1.52 m). Alkali sacaton (Sporobolus airoides (Torr.) Torr.) cover was 4% and had a density of 0.05 plant per m/sup 2/.
