Nine Woodland Seed Mixes (with headers, but blurry)

The lists of species below represent the current planting mixes of summer and fall-blooming species of herbaceous plants as used by the Somme Woods stewards in our work to restore the brush-degraded herb layer of bur and white oak woodlands (here including "open woodlands"  or "closed savannas'. 

Expanded abbreviations for the column headings from left to right are as follows: 

MCS = Open Woodland (Mesic Closed Savanna)

MW = Mesic Woodland

WMCS = Wet-mesic Open Woodland

WMW = Wet-mesic Woodland

WW = Wet Woodland

MCST Mesic Open Woodland Turf Mix

MWT = Mesic Woodland Turf Mix

MCSLO = Mesic Open Woodland Low-pro Mix

MWLO = Mesic Woodland Low-pro Mix

Detailed comments about the differences among these can be found, along with a less blurry version of the list (but without repeated headers) is here
