Although spontaneous revegetation can occur, the process is slow or unsuccessful and rhizostabilisation strategies to reduce dispersal of contaminated dust represent an option to rehabilitate such sites.

Populations of forest floor bryophytes that persist under those patches of tree canopy remaining after clear-cutting could reduce dispersal distances and thereby contribute to conservation of species across the landscape.
