RESTORATION OF RIPARIAN BUFFER FUNCTION IN RECLAIMED SURFACE MINE SOILS IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS

 My son recently completed the work require for his Master's Degree in Forest Hydrology and Soils.  I hope you will forgive a proud father for posting his son's Master's Thesis.  The abstract sums it up pretty well if you do not want to wade through the whole thing.  Nathan is currently working for Natural Resources Conservation Service in Arcola, IL.
