Suggested Planting Guidelines - Best Management Practices for Revegetation of Actively Used Training Lands in the Northeastern United States.

摘要

These guidelines were prepared to assist military land managers in the selection of appropriate seed mixtures for revegetation of actively used training lands located in the Northeast U.S. Recommending a seed mixture is complicated because of the great variety of land uses, soils, and plant selection goals. The goal was to keep the guidelines as simple as possible but still be able to recommend seed mixtures adapted for this region. A three-step process is presented that covers the important aspects of selecting a seed mixture that can meet revegetation goals on training ranges, airfields, and military operations in urban training (MOUT) sites. Tables include information to assist in the selection of species in seed mixtures for various soil types and characteristics, and land use. Characteristics of militarily important plants mentioned in this guide are included in the appendices that provide a summary table and individual plant description sheets.
