Much of the research on selection, propagation and establishment of plants for soil conservation has involved disturbed land or is applicable to reclaiming disturbed land. Although industrially disturbed land has not represented a priority for allocation of resources in the past, technology from plant materials research is available and could be more directly focused on reclamation. Plant selection has produced major advances for soil conservation at large, such as the Salix matsudana x alba hybrid willows released during the 1970's or the new improved poplars currently under advanced evaluation. Under current funding policies, an initiative of similar effort directed at land reclamation would require a substantial contribution from regional and commercial interests, as without such contributions the Crown is unwilling to make a sustained commitment to any field of applied research
