Prairie Restoration @ BAP
Barber et al
Soil microbial composition as an indicator of restoration success
Studied communities of bacteria and archaea
older praries significantly different from younfer
Plant based restorations similar soil bacteria to original praries
soil composition plays an important role in pace of recovery
Townbridge et al.
Restoration requires reducing harm by exotic species
i.e. burning, mowing,
plots with supplemental seeding of good grasses had less exotic invasion
sucess of species should be measured by persistance and spread.
Bach et al
restorattion increased soil microbial biomass especially of fungi
Restoration of more diverse plants meant that there was more biomass going into the soil as plants are growing anfd decaying etc. at different rates
regardless of planted practice there was an increase in abundance of roots over time.
Prarie has more microbial biomass than cultivated soils
Walton & Anderson
microbes in the presence of plant roots can work faster to degrade hazerdous materials
only focuses on organic compounds: not inorganic compounds or radionuclides
2,4-Dinitrotoluene (DNT) or dinitro is an organic compound with the formula C7H6N2O4. and was one of the contaminants at a dangerous levl according to sir20205106.
Plants in wastewater treatment uptake toxins in one of 3 possible ways: sorption into tissues, uptake by plant, degrdation of toxin by tissues orr microrganisms of plant.
Pesticides dissapear faster in vegitated than non vegitated soils
possibility to test whats in the soil using bio luminescence (see other paper)
Tjada and Garcia: other methods for soil restoration include compost and manure
