Revegetation of Alaskan Disturbed Sites by Native Tundra Species.
Abstract
The changes in physical and biotic environment with disturbance and subsequent recovery of arctic tussock tundra were documented. Recovery of arctic tundra disturbances may be greatly aided by stockpiling and reusing soil organic matter which contains sufficient buried seed and organically bound nutrients to revegetate many arctic disturbances. This avoids the costly process of seeding with exotic grasses which requires continuous large nutrient inputs and may delay recovery of natural tundra communities.
