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.
