Wildfires and prolonged drought conditions present significant challenges to land managers, requiring innovative and science-driven approaches to restore fire-affected landscapes. Dormant seeding is a climate-resilient strategy that enhances soil stability, supports forage production, and promotes ecological recovery while preventing the spread of invasive species.
Join us for an expert-led session exploring dormant seeding techniques and their role in post-fire land restoration.
Key Topics:
🔥 Fire’s Impact on Soil & Ecosystems: Understanding how fire alters soil properties, hydrology, and nutrient cycles.
💧 Drought & Post-Fire Regeneration: The role of climate-driven drought in post-fire landscape recovery.
🌱 Dormant Seeding for Soil Stabilization: How strategic seeding improves soil health, prevents erosion, and supports ecosystem resilience.
🌿 Selecting the Best Seed Mixes: Exploring drought-tolerant forage species, nitrogen-fixing legumes, and competitive plants to suppress invasive species.
🚜 Implementation & Best Practices: Techniques for successful establishment of deep-rooted grasses and legumes to rebuild productive rangelands.
Dormant seeding not only accelerates soil recovery but also enhances grazing potential for livestock and wildlife habitat restoration. By strategically planting fire-adapted species, land managers can rebuild resilient landscapes while preventing the spread of aggressive invasive plants.
