On the Ground • With energy production expanding in the United States, rangelands are increasingly being affected. •We studied three different reseeding techniques for pipeline rights of way restoration on rangelands impacted by energy development in the Eagle Ford Shale play of south Texas. •Techniques studied were 1) broadcast seeding,2) no-till drill seeding, and 3) hydroseeding. •Using ecotypic native seed mixes, we found that all seeding techniques resulted in successful restoration of rights of ways. •We are working to inform landowners, oil and gas operators, and rangeland professionals of our findings.Type
