Effects of soil treatments and tree species on reforestation of well pads

Abstract: Anthropogenically induced arrested succession is a global problem in forest ecosystems. In northern Michigan (U.S.A.), oil development has arrested succession in forest landscapes since the 1970s and oil well pads have not reforested up to 30 years after being vacated. To explore pathways for reforestation, we evaluated survivorship and growth of northern red oak (Quercus rubra), white oak (Q. alba), jack pine (Pinus banksiana), and red pine (P. resinosa) at monthly intervals during growing seasons from 2015 t… Show more

“…Reduced light and nutrients from overstory and herbaceous competition decreased Q. virginiana seedling growth, particularly in comparison to clearcut or high light environments [42], suggesting that field fertilization (specifically with controlled released fertilizers) could be beneficial. In comparison to conventional fertilizers, controlled released fertilizers slowly release nutrients more directly to the root zone, limiting undesired benefits to competing vegetation and nutrient losses [33,43,44].…”
