Rainfall simulation : evaluating hydroseeding & plug planting techniques for erosion control & improved water quality
This study focused on identifying and selecting plant species demonstrating initial fast growth and potential long-term erosion control under a variety of rainfall regimes and erosion control treatments to improve water quality. Using California native and non-native naturalized species, existing seed banks, hydroseeding, and plug planting techniques were tested and compared. Additionally, information was collected in small scale studies including rainfall simulator design, heavy metal transport, and germination rates.
