| Abstract/Contents: | "The integration of the research solutions and the engineering limitations is a real and difficult problem. If it is not accomplished the research is useless. To agriculturists, erosion control is determined by the evaluation of soil, biological and ecological factors, and the erosion prevention materials available. Proper solutions are generally communicated to and implemented by an independent operator -- the farmer. Highway departments are not independent operators, making communications more complicated and implementation more difficult. The highway engineer, unversed in biological terminology, must cope with unknown and unstable soil factors, erosive slopes, completion dates, plant material, and agriculturally unskilled contractors. This must be done within the scope of workable specifications and so legal criteria are met. The key to effective utilization of biological data in engineering situations lies in the translation of research by agricultural personal who appreciate the engineering situation." |
