Abstract
We assessed the influence of seed mix design, specifically the effect of species habitat matching on dry soils in a series of field trials conducted in recently retired marginal farmland. Our objectives were to 1) evaluate plant establishment, functional diversity, and cost-effectiveness for seed mixes that differed in composition of dry adapted species, and 2) derive an effective seed mix suited to dry marginal soils based on preliminary establishment outcomes.
