| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a two-phase study conducted to "identify alternative and novel vegetation for use in low-maintenance utility areas...that establish quickly, have excellent winter persistence and require little supplemental maintenance for the upper cool-humid region of the United States" and to "quanitfy sediment losses from sloped areas during seedling establishment for selected promising vegetation that consist of various differential growth habits, canopy architectures across several seasonal seeding dates." Details methods and materials used in phase 1 (2005), stating that "twenty-eight species were planted...Since sediment loss is a constant problem and many construction schedules do not always permit seeding during 'optimum seeding windows', three seeding dates were evaluated (May 15th, July 15th, and [September] 15th). A starter fertilizer was applied at seeding at a rate of 74 kg [kilograms] ha-1 [per hectare] to enhance germination and establishement." Reports that "for all three seeding dates, canopy heights were taken approximately 80 d [days] after seeding...All of the species achieved their greatest canopy height during either the May or July seeding date. Big bluestem, Weeping lovegrass, and Switchgrass achieved the greatest canopy heights of 90 cm [centimeters] or better during the 15 May seeding date." |
