| Summary: | (AGB) and associated macroinvertebrates were sampled at all 1992 and 1993 growing seasons at three water depths (20, 50, and 80 cm) within an experimental wetland on Texas Utilities' and creation. However, techniques for establishment of Because of their functions in substrate stabilization, Big Brown Mine in eastern Texas. Percent cover was borrowed soil may be utilized alone, or in conjunction with demerswn L.), and sago pondweed (Potamogeton pectinatus L.) depth, while emergent macrophytes established from borrowed determined during both seasons, and above-ground biomass establish submergent macrophytes and associated invertebrates guadalupensis (Spreng.) Magnus), coontail (Ceratophyllwn had significantly (P<0.05) higher total submergent AGB, in wetland reclamation efforts. macroinvertebrate abundance generally increased with water macrophytes are essential for successful wetland restoration nutrient uptake, and wildlife habitat, submerged aquatic percent cover, species richness, and invertebrate taxon plantings of locally abundant species to successfully richness than single-species treatments. Locally collected soil were most successful at 20 cm. Results indicated southern naiad and coontail produced greater percent cover submergents have been slow to develop. Southern naiad (Najas than nursery stock. Success in submergent establishment and water depths in 1993. The borrowed-soil treatment generally were planted and compared to borrowed-wetland soil during |
