Tierney GD and Foxx TS. 1982. Floristic Composition and Plant Succession on Near-Surface Radioactive Waste Disposal Facilities in the Los Alamos National Laboratory. LA-9212-MS UC-70. Los Alamos National Laboratory. Los Alamos, NM
This study examined plant succession on waste disposal sites at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM. Sites ranged from recently disturbed to areas that had been closed for 34 years. Vegetation on each site was surveyed in regards to the last disturbance, topography, and previous utilization. Includes the revegetation procedures and results of one disposal site that had been reseeded with seven grasses.
