Abstract

A 1.5-ha experimental plantation on the Fresh Kills Landfill was censused one year after installation, in search of evidence that the plantation was spreading or increasing in diversity. The 17 planted species were surviving well but contributed almost no seedlings to the area. Among the 1097 woody seedlings found, 95% came from sources outside the plantation. The density of new recruits of each species was dependent on distance from the nearest potential seed source.
