Abstract European alder (Alnus glutinosa L.) seedlings were planted in an established ground cover of Kentucky-31 fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) of surface mine spoil in southeastern Kentucky. The effects of the ground cover on seedling survival, height, dry weight production, soil moisture and temperature, leaf water potential, and diffusion resistance, were observed and evaluated. Three treatments, scalping, clipping, and paraquat herbicide, to reduce competition around individual tree seedlings, were evaluated. Highest survival (43 percent) occurred in plots where competing vegetation was mechanically scalped away from seedlings. Scalping increased the soil moisture available for growth and reduced water stress of seedlings.
