^aS = short-lived, L = long-lived

^bSeed mixes: All seed mixes are listed as a per cent of mix by weight.
1, 2 = General: mixtures suitable for a variety of sites.
3, 4 = Drought, rainshadow, south exposure, coarse-textured soils, narrow seeding window.
5 = Wetland, ditches and poorly drained areas.
6 = Calcareous, high concentrations of calcium carbonate.
7 = Boreal, east of the Rocky Mountains.
8 = Alpine, higher elevations with heavy snowpack. Use a cold-hardy variety of orchardgrass, such as Kay.
9 = Legume, moist sites, maximum N-fixation for planted trees.
10 = Trail, predominantly small-seeded species to reduce application rates for broadcast seeding on backspar trails, skid roads and landings.
