The seed mixtures contained in this document are designed for the site specific conditions (e.g., soil texture and chemical composition, precipitation, elevation, aspect, etc.) associated with the approximate mile marker along Region 2 highways. Native species were selected for the seed mixtures with few exceptions. The individual plant species were selected based on their adaptions to the site conditions, ability to control erosion, and compatibility to establish a diverse plant community. The species composition of the seed mixture was also based on the recommendations found in the Natural Resources Conservation Service’s (NRCS) “Major Land Resource Areas (MLRA).”(http://www.nrcs.usds.gov) |
