Abstract:Roadsides are managed as mowed turfgrass to prevent erosion, maintain
visibility, provide a safety zone for stopped vehicles, and improve aesthetics.
Roadside vegetation often needs to be mowed several times each growing
season, and in addition to its cost mowing exposes workers to traffic and other
hazards, discharges tailpipe gases, and disturbs soil. This study explored the
efficacy of using commercially-available grass species that may reduce
maintenance costs, yet still provide economic and ecological services such as
fast establishment, erosion control, ecosystem benefits, and resilience.
