Abstract The selection of plants for the restoration of degraded sites, the growth and survival of two shrub species in a soil degraded by construction rubble was evaluated. Two experiments were carried out, one in situ, and the other under greenhouse conditions. In the perturbed site, Zaluzania augusta had 62.8% survival, and grew 2.68 cm taller than Karwinskia humboldtiana. In greenhouse conditions, seedlings of K. humboldtiana, unlike those of Z. augusta, did not survive the experimental period on perturbed soil. In general Z. augusta had better results than Karwinskia humboldtiana and could be recommended to restoration in semiarid degraded sites.

在墨西哥中部半干旱地区的退化土壤中建立两种本地灌木树种

摘要 对退化场地恢复植物的选择、建筑碎石退化土壤中两种灌木的生长和存活情况进行了评价。进行了两个实验，一个在原位，另一个在温室条件下。在扰动的地点，Zaluzania augusta 的存活率为 62.8%，并且比 Karwinskia humboldtiana 高 2.68 厘米。在温室条件下，K. humboldtiana 的幼苗与 Z. augusta 的幼苗不同，在扰动土壤上无法存活。总的来说，Z. augusta 的效果比 Karwinskia humboldtiana 好，可以推荐在半干旱退化地进行恢复。
