Hydroseeding revegetation process and subsequent growth of Cyperus luzulae plants at the first experimental site Figure 7. Hydroseeding at the third site and subsequent growth of Cyperus luzulae seeds Thanks to the use of this technique, revegetation of approximately 370 hectares has been achieved to date. In these rehabilitated areas, reforestation has also been carried out on 60 hectares with approximately 13,000 native plants. 213
