Provides recommendations based on the field survey and ground checking, for developing methodologies to enhance the detail on 1:50 000 vegetation maps (preliminary vegetation community classification)
Resource
Of the 14 species seeded in 1976, only Lupine and the oat cover crop did not grow in 1977. A comparison of fall seeding versus spring seeding indicated that fall seeding could be successfully used
Resource
Objectives of the research were to study methods for the establishment of a stable vegetative cover that would prevent erosion of the slope and, in time, might become a self maintaining unit.
