Project

Role of artificial microtopography in wetland restoration
This project aims to assess the influence of artificial microtopography on the survival and growth of two tree species in a wetland environment. Two types of microtopographic features (mounds and depressions versus flat surfaces) will be compared to evaluate their effects on tree establishment. The results will help guide ecological restoration practices by identifying the most favorable conditions for tree growth in wetland settings.
