Abstract:
Coal mining is one of economic sector that requires forestry area in Indonesia. Most of coal mining concession are forestry area loan use from the government and during mining operation facing with acid mine drainage (AMD). AMD passive treatment can be integrated with revegetation process that related with better handling of overburden (OB) with potential acid forming (PAF) during reclamation processed. The most expensive methods and uncertainty process are the use of quick lime in treatment of AMD. During operation and preparing mine closure stage need to create the effective one to comply with the regulation. “Swampy Forest (SF) system” is an alternative method of sustainable and naturally process. Selecting the appropriate tree species as a preliminary process to develop a better SF system by batch experiment in the form of a forest constructed wetland. The tree species selected are Nauclea orientalis (lonkida tree) and Melaleuca cajuputi (kayuputih tree) as non-local species then Nauclea subdita (bangkal tree) and Melaleuca leucadendron (galam tree) as local species have been selected. Local species higher in Fe and Mn adsorption in pH of AMD <4 then nonlocal species higher in Fe and Mn adsorption on pH of AMD >4 condition.

Abstract:
Abstract Chesapeake Bay tidal wetlands are experiencing a broad-scale, aggressive invasion by the non-native, clonal grass Phragmites australis. The grass is often managed with herbicides in efforts to restore native plant communities and wildlife habitat. Management efforts, however, can act as a disturbance, resulting in increased light availability, potentially fostering reinvasion from soil seedbanks. If native vegetation establishes quickly from seedbanks, the site should have greater resiliency against invasion, while disturbed sites where native plants do not rapidly establish may be rapidly colonized by P. australis. We surveyed the soil seedbank of three vegetation cover types in five Chesapeake Bay subestuaries: areas where P. australis had been removed, where P. australis was left intact, and with native, reference vegetation. We determined the total germination, the proportion of the seedbank that was attributable to invasive species, the richness, the functional diversity, and the overall composition of the seedbanks in each of the cover types (i.e., plots). After 2 years of herbicide treatment in the P. australis removal plots, vegetation cover type impacted the total germination or the proportion of invasive species in the seedbank. In contrast, we also found that seedbank functional composition in tidal brackish wetlands was not influenced by vegetation cover type in most cases. Instead, plots within a subestuary had similar seedbank functional composition across the years and were composed of diverse functional groups. Based on these findings, we conclude that plant community recovery following P. australis removal is not seed-limited, and any lack of native vegetation recruitment is likely the result of yet-to-be-determined abiotic factors. These diverse seedbanks could lead to resilient wetland communities that could resist invasions. However, due to the prevalence of undesirable species in the seedbank, passive revegetation following invasive plant removal may speed up their re-establishment. The need for active revegetation will need to be assessed on a case-by-case basis to ensure restoration goals are achieved.

Abstract:
Passive recovery of land formerly used for agricultural production may be an inexpensive and rapid method of ecosystem recovery, and may provide an alternative method to active revegetation. Passive recovery may also contribute to sustainable agriculture (soil salinity). For undisturbed and disturbed areas of the central wheatbelt of Western Australia, this paper reports the effects of farming history (clearing only, cultivation, duration of farming, and time since farming ceased) on the soil nutrient content, plant floristics (richness and composition) and structure, and the abundance, species richness and species composition of birds and arthropods. Only one site was cultivated for >6 years. We summarize as follows: (1) Previous clearing and cultivation has left no residual effects on the nitrogen or phosphorus content in the sandy soils. (2) There were no significant differences in terms of plant species richness but some differences in cover of woody plants, grass cover and plant species composition for farming history or time since farming ceased. (3) There were no significant differences in bird species richness but differences in species composition for time since farming ceased. (4) Arthropods showed few (and low) significant differences in their abundance, richness or species composition across different farming histories and time periods since farming ceased. Farming of these shrublands has left only minor changes in the composition and structure of the vegetation, and in the abundance, species richness and species composition of the passerine bird and arthropod assemblages. Abandoned parcels of land on the sandy soils which support shrubland may yield useful conservation benefits with relatively little input.

Abstract:
A substantial body of work underlies the theory and practice of early intervention in the management of invasive alien plants, but less attention has been paid to the strategic management of widespread weeds, especially in the context of natural asset recovery. The assumption lingers amongst some researchers and land managers that removing weeds will automatically lead to positive biodiversity outcomes, with the more weed removed, the better the outcome. However, this is often not the case, particularly for long-established weed species whose dominance has created impoverished communities with little capacity for passive recovery. A common result may be wasted investment in weed control and, in the extreme, net negative impacts upon asset values. We present a conceptual model for the management of weed-impacted assets, plus guidance for its application, with a view to improving asset recovery practice. Weed removal should be calibrated by asset recovery, which may mean not seeking to completely remove a weed at a given spatial scale. Our model focusses on weed removal that is enough to initiate asset recovery, but not more than is necessary to promote maximum expression of asset resilience, particularly in the context of secondary invasions. Optimal management efficiency will involve a proportional allocation of resources to control, monitoring and revegetation activities that is appropriate to the stage of asset recovery, as well as a willingness to revise a management goal if the original one cannot be achieved within existing constraints on resources.

Abstract:
Soils from New Caledonia typically present poor nutrient content and large quantities of heavy metals such as nickel, chromium and cobalt, resulting in slow plant development. We evaluated the impact of sewage sludge application (0–30 t dry weight (DW) ha–1) on the passive revegetation of a former pine plantation. The spontaneously regenerated plant cover was mainly represented by the dominant Pinus caribaea, a shrub (Sannantha leratii), and a grass (Costularia comosa). The density of pine seedlings was significantly higher in the moderately amended zone (1.2 and 0.2 pines m–2 for 0.5 and 30 t DW ha–1 respectively). The same tendency was observed for S. leratii, but for C. comosa, no net change was observed. With no amendment, after 5 years many species were present, although aboveground biomass (0.3 kg m–2) was low, whereas, with sludge amendment, aboveground biomass was high (5 kg m–2) but diversity low. Amendment increased pine tree heights from 0.15 to 3.92 m with increased amendment from 0 to 30 t DW ha–1. The uptake of nitrogen (N) by pine trees was also improved with sludge supply, as was the uptake of phosphorus (P). Regarding S. leratii, N and P levels were highest at the sludge dosage of 2 t DW ha–1. Carbon storage in P. caribaea biomass increased from 0.40 to 180 kg m–2 with increased amendment applied. Five years after spreading at the highest amendment levels, available soil P remained enhanced. For heavy metal uptake by pine trees, no significant effect of sewage sludge was observed. The optimal dosage to stimulate biodiversity was 0.5–2 t DW ha–1 but maximal biomass was reached at 8–30 t DW ha–1.

Abstract:
Water resources in dry environments are becoming scarcer, especially under the changing climate. In response, rainwater harvesting (RWH) is being reemphasized with calls to revive the practice. Ancient knowledge on RWH — mainly the collection through runoff, storage, and use of rainwater for various purposes — is still relevant, especially for dry environments. However, many old practices and technologies may not be suitable or feasible for the present and future. Little has been done to modernize and (or) develop new practices and technologies based on ancient indigenous knowledge. Modernizing old practices or developing new ones and using them in integrated rangelands restoration packages with enabling policy environment can unlock their potential in many water-scarce regions of the world. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of micro-catchment rainwater harvesting (MIRWH) in dry environments and discusses the opportunities available and the major obstacles faced in using it to restore degraded agro-pastoral ecosystems and support their sustainability. The review highlights the knowledge behind it, the practices developed over the years, and their relevance to today and the future. The paper indicates areas of modernization that can make it more feasible for the future of the dry environments, especially their role in mitigating and adapting to climate change. Conventional and passive approaches to restoring/rehabilitating degraded dry agro-pastoral ecosystems are either too slow to show an obvious impact or not progressing satisfactorily. One main reason is that, because of land degradation, the majority of rain falling on such ecosystems and needed for revegetation is lost with little benefit being gained. Adopting a more progressive intervention to alter the processes of degradation and move towards new system equilibrium is required. MIRWH can enable a large portion of this otherwise lost rainwater to be stored in the soil, and, if used in an integrated packages including suitable plant species and sound grazing management, it may support meaningful vegetation growth and help system restoration. The Badia Benchmark project, implemented by ICARDA in Jordan and Syria, has demonstrated the potential for adoption at large scale in similar environments. This case study illustrates the potential and the constraints of this practice.

Abstract:
Typically, dormant seedlings are transplanted when revegetating disturbed lands to prevent transplant shock triggered by water stress. It may be possible to transplant nondormant seedlings by inducing drought-tolerant acclimation responses such as solute accumulation. Artemisia cana and Agropyron intermedium seedlings were subjected to three different water stress preconditioning treatments. After conditioning, seedlings were dried down in their containers until leaf senescence, or were transplanted to disturbed land sites. Leaf water potential components and relative water content were measured. Following treatments, water relations parameters of preconditioned seedlings were not markedly different from controls in either species. At the end of the final dry-down, water stress preconditioning had not induced active or passive solute accumulation, prolonged leaf survival during lethal drought conditions, or differences in transplant survival under the experimental conditions of this study.

<em>Abstract</em>.—The Blackfoot River restoration endeavor is an ongoing collaborative, comprehensive, and successful river conservation story in western North America. This chapter describes the restoration framework and process that shaped the first 30 years of this wild trout conservation story. The program began in the late 1980s when fish population surveys identified widespread habitat degradation and depleted numbers of wild trout throughout lower elevations of the Blackfoot River basin and the precarious status of migratory native trout. These initial findings triggered basinwide protective angling regulations for native trout, followed by fish population surveys in all streams. Fisheries data were then combined with basinwide aquatic habitat assessments to facilitate a collaborative multiscale restoration methodology to improve the ecological integrity of the river and its tributaries. Elements of the restoration framework included (1) basin-scale fish and habitat data collections that helped to identify human-induced limiting factors and promote landowner education/cooperation, (2) pilot restoration projects and prioritizations of tributary restoration work, (3) the site-specific integration of passive restoration (e.g. grazing and revegetation) and active restoration (e.g. fish screens, channel reconstruction) techniques, (4) the application of the reference reach concept within the restoration framework, and (5) the essential role of watershed groups in fundraising, implementation planning, and watershed-scale conservation easement protection, especially on private ranchlands. Finally, this chapter summarizes programmatic elements, specific case studies, and restoration techniques that preceded wild trout population expansion in the tributaries and main-stem Blackfoot River. The purpose of this chapter is to help others understand how we approached and implemented a major watershed restoration program.
