Develop native plant restoration techniques specific to roadside use, especially following weed control projects and other rehabilitation efforts.
There is a need prepare a white paper to identify practical strategies and methods for stopping/reversing the extension of invasive weeds along roadsides.
At least one seed mixture would be created for each vegetative zone. In addition, best practices for establishment and maintenance of these seed mixtures would be established.
By law, Departments of Transportation are required to control noxious weeds along highway rights-of-way (ROWs). Beginning 2000, District 4 (D4) of Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) adopted a survey design…
The management of invasive species is ineffective when the means of dissemination are unknown. Construction vehicles are likely vectors for the spread of invasive plant species. The use of construction…
There is presently no contemporary instructional media available to state DOT’s on herbicide application.
Research problem statement – The extent to which state DOTs consider and implement maintenance programs to reduce pesticide and herbicide applications, and cause disturbance of roadside vegetation, as well as…
TERI Database Administrator Notes. Not recommended at present time by 2009 Natural Systems Subcommittee. Transportation corridors are a potential vector for the spread of invasive plant species throughout New Hampshire. …
Stabilization of roadsides after construction is critical to protecting water quality, public safety and the longevity of the project. Unfortunately, current erosion control seed mixes include invasive exotic species. The…
Assess management efforts to prevent or slow the spread of exotic plants into and away from roadsides. Research should stratify sites based upon ecosystem, soil fertility and time of disturbance.…
