Ground Covers for Highway Slopes. An Annotated Bibliography
This bibliography is an outgrowth of an investigation into the use of woody ground cover plants for the revegetation of steep highway slopes in Minnesota. The planting of vegetative material is recognized as the most efficient, economical and aesthetically acceptable method of protecting slopes from erosion. The general use of turf-producing species alone on such slopes, however, presents certain problems in establishment and more particularly of maintenance. The difficulty of maintaining steep slopes, where access is often physically dangerous, is the compelling reason to seek plant materials that may reduce overall costs and at the same time provide effective cover and an attractive appearance. With the initiation of this investigation in 1962 a review of the literature was undertaken to determine the extent of current work. This review indicated there was enough interest in ground covers for highway planting to warrant publication of a bibliography of practices in this highly specialized use of plant materials.
