Project Description

 

 

Project Description:

Three demonstration areas be established to demonstrate low compaction surface mine reclamation techniques for carbon sequestration through the production of high value trees.  Approximately 150-200 to acres for a total of approximately 500 acres of new demonstration outdoor/classroom forests. The research effort will consider the importance of understanding both the effects of species and spoil type and handling on C sequestration and will conduct three studies with the following objectives:



1) A comparison of tree species including monotypic and mixed species with and without an N-fixing species.

2) A comparison varying the depth of spoil material.

3) A comparison of various spoil types.
