Coal production in North Dakota may disturb 3000 acres of pasture and rangeland by 1990. A study was undertaken to determine whether reclamation measures to date have been successful. Vegetative production, vegetative composition and diversity, plant and canopy cover, and animal performance on reclaimed land were compared with similar data from control (nonmined) areas. Productivity on the reclaimed site was comparable to that on the nonmined land, thus indicating effective reclamation.
