Download or read book Designing for Bank Erosion Control with Vegetation written by Paul L. Knutson and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marsh plants are effective in stabilizing eroding banks in sheltered coastal areas. Exceptional results have been achieved in a variety of intertidal environments at a fraction of the cost required for comparable structural protection. Techniques are available for the efficient propagation of several marsh plants for use in bank stabilization. This paper provides design criteria for (1) determining site suitability, (2) selecting plant materials and planting methods and (3) estimating labor requirements on a project by project basis.
