Prairie Restoration: An Evaluation of Techniques for Management of Native GrassCommunities in Highway Roadsides in Texas

摘要

This is an interim report on the Prairie Restoration Project. The reportdocuments the results of a literature search and the way in which conclusions drawn from that search will be used to design the individual studies. The goal of the Prairie Restoration Project is to evaluate selected roadside vegetation management techniques that will encourage healthier, more stable gas communities. Five study sites in Texas will be established. These sites are located near Amarillo, Dallas, Abilene, Austin, and Harlingen, and have been selected for their differences in climate, soils, and native vegetation.
