SIMON LANDHAUSSER:<\/b><em> My work focuses mostly on the establishment of trees.   Several grad students are working in the area of seedling quality.  They are looking at what makes a seedling a good seedling.  What helps the seedling to establish on the site.   I also look at areas which relate to vegetation establishment other than  the trees.  So what grows in the understorey or potential understorey of a forest? And how is that influenced by the types of substrates that we have on these reclamation site? So yes, it\u2019s a wide range of research that all circles around the plant and  how the plant interacts with it\u2019s environment.  <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDr. Landhausser says along with light, moisture, and nutrients, success really depends on  reconstructing the forest soil.\n <\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThanks today to <b>SYNCRUDE<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<br \/>\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.syncrude.com\">Syncrude<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/SyncrudeLogo.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02012-03-08<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlike regrowing a cutblock after logging, <b>regrowing a forest<\/b> after mining for oil sands is a major endeavour.
