  • Abstract:
    Roadside revegetation projects present substantial challenges to successful development of ; desired plant associations and vegetation structure. Cut or fill slopes are often steeply inclined, ; highly compacted, and lacking topsoil. Excavated topsoil is sometimes stockpiled for ; reapplication of pre-existing organic matter, soil microbes, and seed as both an inexpensive ; means of erosion control, and as a method to re-establish vegetation consistent with the ; surrounding context. However, stockpiled seedbanks may include undesirable, weedy species ; that inhibit establishment of desired native species.
