Erosion Control | Revegetation of Perennial Grasslands in the Peruvian Andes (2315 words) |
 | The bunch grass clumps planted during revegetation were a mixture of native species, chiefly fescue and needle grass, with an occasional bluegrass and reed bent grass. |
| English rye grass was the most commonly used grass for revegetation because of likelihood of success (cover and root growth), cost of seed, availability of seed, and the species’ ability to serve as a "nurse crop" for native grasses, forbs, and shrubs that will subsequently invade the areas. |
| Workers collected clumps of native bunch grasses from nearby stands, and the collected clumps appear to be a random mixture of the species available, mostly the large fescue (Festuca orthophylla), a lesser amount of needle grass (Stipa ichu), and an occasional bluegrass and reed bent grass. |
