Abstract

The article discusses the production of sagebrush seed on reclaimed mined land in Wyoming. Wyoming big sagebrush seed production on reclaimed mined land can be increased by the use of woven fabric mulch in seed orchards. Polyacrylamide soil amendment will not increase shrub growth or seed yield. Fabric mulch will increase both and could be applied to the installation of commercial seed production orchards or used to increase natural seed distribution on reclaimed lands. It can also be used to increase the structural diversity of mined-land plant communities.
