Root development on cuttings of seven arctic shrub species for revegetation

Vegetation removal during resource extraction in the Arctic causes long-lasting impacts requiring revegetation to accelerate plant reestablishment. This study focused on root development on shrub cuttings from seven common species at Diavik Diamond Mine, Northwest Territories. Two experiments were c...

Root development on cuttings of seven arctic shrub species for revegetation
description Vegetation removal during resource extraction in the Arctic causes long-lasting impacts requiring revegetation to accelerate plant reestablishment. This study focused on root development on shrub cuttings from seven common species at Diavik Diamond Mine, Northwest Territories. Two experiments were conducted; the first had six soaking times (zero, one, three, five, ten, twenty days), four indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.4, 0.8 percent), and three seasons (summer, fall, spring).
