Abstract:Erosion of steep highway cut slopes in Montana is the consequence of poor vegetation development in nutrient-poor growth media resulting from highway construction where topsoil cannot physically be replaced due to slope steepness. A literature review was conducted to synthesize available examples of compost application and incorporation on steep cut slopes to stimulate vegetation growth and retard erosion. Equipment applicable to either compost application or incorporation on slopes steeper than 3(H):1(V) was identified. Candidate research test plot locations were evaluated and are described.
