Evaluation of Native Grass Sod for Stabilization of Steep Slopes Presented by: Kenley Stone M.S. Thesis Defense Overview Factors and concerns of erosion Common methods used to control erosion Literature Review Native Sod Hypotheses Objectives Methods Data Collection Data Analysis Results Factors that Accelerate Erosion in Landscapes Removal of vegetation Disturbed riparian ecosystems Steep slopes Arid conditions Phyto-toxic soil Problems Associated with Erosion Landslides/Mudslides Sedimentation of rivers and streams Degraded water quality Common Methods Used to Control Erosion on Steep Slopes Broadcast seeding Drill seeding Hydroseeding/Hydromulch Straw-coconut fiber blanket Rip-rap Broadcast Seeding and Drill-Seeding Hydroseeding Rip-Rap Straw-Coconut Fiber Blanket Literature Review Sodding is one of the most effective means of controlling erosion and preventing sedimentation damage (NCDWQ 1997). It has been shown that sod can remove up to 99% of the total suspended solids in runoff (USEPA 2002). Using simulated rainfall, sod reduced runoff rates 54-59% more compared to the other treatments that included wood excelsior, jute fabric, coconut fiber blanket, coconut strand mat, and straw (Krenitsky et. al. 1998). In Montana, Jensen and Sindelar (1979) concluded that if a large scale sodding machine could be developed, dryland sodding will become a highly desirable soil stabilization treatment. Native Sod Western wheatgrass (Agropyron smithii) Idaho fescue (Festuca idahoensis) Thickspike wheatgrass (Agropyron dasystachym) Canada bluegrass (Poa compressa) Potential Merits of Native Sod Immediately enhances aesthetic values of an area Provides immediate stabilization of steep slopes Can reduce runoff and sediment loss Can reduce noxious weed invasion Hypothesis Objectives H1: Native sod will produce significantly greater production and cover compared to other treatments. Objective1: Measure plant growth characteristics on slopes treated with
