PLANNING PHASE TWO: ASSESS SITE 5.1 INTRODUCTION Phase Two identifies site factors that will limit revegetation establishment, defines the possible mitigating measures that can be employed to reduce the effects of limiting conditions on plant growth, and surveys those site attributes that can be used as resources to accomplish revegetation objectives. By the end of Phase Two, the designer should have the following: ◾◾ Identified limiting factors ◾◾ Considered mitigating measures for limiting factors ◾◾ Assessed site resources 5.1.1 LIMITING FACTORS Site conditions that affect plant establishment and growth are referred to as limiting factors (Figure 5-1). Odum (1971) defines limiting factors as “any condition which approaches or exceeds the limits and tolerance (of a plant species).” He further states that “the chief value of the concept of limiting factors lies in the fact that it gives the ecologist an ‘entering wedge’ into the study of complex situations. Environmental relations of organisms are apt to be complex, so that it is fortunate that not all possible factors are of equal importance in a given situation or for a given organism.” For the designer, defining the limiting factors on any particular project or site is an essential process in developing a revegetation plan because it identifies from a multitude of site factors only those that are roadblocks to successful revegetation. Not only does this simplify a complex analysis, it requires the designer to systematically consider all site factors, focusing on those of greatest concern. For example, typical revegetation treatments conventionally call for the blanket use of fertilizers without assessing if nutrients are really limiting to plant growth. In many cases, other limiting factors to revegetation, such as low rainfall, compacted soils, low organic matter, and poor rooting depth, are more limiting. Without a comprehensive assessment of limiting factors, the prescription for fertilizer is akin to a physician prescribing medicine before the patient has been properly diagnosed. While soil fertility is often important on many highly disturbed sites, it might not be the primary limiting factor to revegetation on the site. This manual has grouped the site characteristics essential for plant growth into nine limiting factors to revegetation typically encountered in the western United States. These factors are further broken down into component parts, or parameters (Figure 5-2). In this chapter each limiting factor to revegetation and corresponding parameters are discussed in terms of why they are important to plant establishment and growth, how they are assessed, and what mitigating measures can be applied to make them less limiting. The information used in defining limiting factors for each revegetation unit can be obtained from the surveys and reports conducted in Phase One. In this process, it is important that an assessment of every limiting factor and corresponding parameter be made for each revegetation unit based on the expected condition of the site after disturbance. For this assessment, the types of post-construction disturbance must be clearly understood. Mitigating measures are the site treatments that will reduce or eliminate the site conditions limiting to revegetation. There are usually several ways to mitigate each limiting factor. In this phase, mitigating measures are identified and briefly described for each limiting plant factor and parameter. While some of the mitigating measures might seem impractical for a particular revegetation project, they nevertheless should be considered in this part of the assessment. Figure 5-2 can be used as a checklist – a means of quickly assessing a site for its potential to grow plants while preventing the possibility of overlooking factors important for successful revegetation. Much like pilots or surgeons use checklists, the designer can use the limiting factors list to simplify a “complex situation” and quickly identify what is important from what is not. Figure 5-1 | Limiting factors to revegetation Limiting factors to revegetation can be displayed as unequal boards of a barrel. Water can only be held to the level of most limiting factor.
