1. A direct human-induced activity to increase carbon stocks on sites through the establishment of vegetation that covers a minimum area of 0.05 hectares and does not meet the definitions of afforestation and reforestation contained here (Kyoto Definition). [reference to UNFCCC definitions].

3. Establishing or re-establishing desirable plants in
areas where desirable plants are absent or of inadequate density, by management
alone (natural revegetation) or by seeding or transplanting (artificial
revegetation).

plants.

7. Planting of grasses, forbs, shrubs and trees in areas
where vegetation has been removed, or in some-way disrupted or damaged.
Revegetation is conducted under two different conditions: irrigated and
nonirrigated. commercial and industrial areas.

9. Planting of new trees and, particularly, of native plants in disturbed sites where the vegetation cover has been destroyed, to stabilize the land surface from wind and water erosion and to reclame the land for other uses. Revegetation practices are employed in mined lands, roadsides, parks, wetlands, utility corridors, riparian areas, etc (Source: REVEGa / CORBIT)

10. Reestablishing and developing a plant cover. This
may take place naturally through the reproductive processes of the existing
flora or artificially through the direct action of people, e.g., afforestation,
range reseeding.

11. Refers to the vegetation construction phase of
reclamation.

12. Regrowth or replacement of a plant community on a
disturbed site. Revegetation may be assisted by site preparation, planting and
treatment, or it may occur naturally.
