Survey of viability of indigenous grasses, forbs and shrubs: techniques for initial acquisition and treatment for propagation in preparation for future land reclamation in the Fort Union Basin. Annual progress report, June 1, 1977--May 31, 1978

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6647118
Primary research emphasis was placed on screening as many indigenous plant species as possible to determine their germination requirements. Several species discussed in the report, shrubs in particular, have not responded to known successful treatments for breaking dormancy, nor have they responded to several other treatments employed, so that requirements for germination remain unknown. Effort on these species is continuing due to their importance in the ecosystem and the problems associated with regeneration on disturbed lands.
