Description:   The purpose of the study is to find an effective method of establishing both trees and herbaceous vegetation in reclamation of strip-mine spoil banks. It was found that the herbaceous plants suppressed the growth of trees until the third or fourth growing season. Other possibilities not tested in this study would be planting different species of trees and grasses.
