Revegetation is the process of replanting and rebuilding the soil of disturbed land. This may be a natural process produced by plant colonization and succession, or an artificial (manmade), accelerated process designed to repair damage to a landscape due to wildfire, mining, flood, or other cause.
Originally the process was simply one of applying seed and fertilizer to disturbed lands, usually grasses or clover. The fibrous root network of grasses is useful for short-term erosion control, particularly on sloping ground. Establishing long-term plant communities requires the establishment of woody plants.
The Importance of Wetland Revegetation

As the green movement continues to gain momentum, it is important to not lose sight of the simpler but equally important aspects of environmental protection. Recycling and buying fuel efficient or hybrid cars are heavily touted as ways to reduce our carbon footprint. Some would argue however that scant attention is given to other methods of conservation. Nature itself is a great source of environmental protection.
The Coral reefs that are known and loved the world over are in danger of being killed off by the effects of Climate Change. The Coral Reefs are one of the richest places for Biodiversity, but they are also one of the most neglected. They are also a benefit to not only the sea creatures that inhabit them but the environment and people also, buy providing;
The environmental problems that we are currently facing are all man-made; we may not be aware of it but it is a fact that we have ignored because we are too busy with our daily routine that sometimes our lack of awareness have affected the environment. First among the environmental problems that we have to consider is the global warming.This is caused by the green house gases that are emitted by our cars
Most everyone is in agreement that something needs to be done about the crisis our country is facing when it comes to oil dependency. What is not being addressed is the crisis our entire planet is facing when it comes to the environment.
