    Abstract
    This study evaluates the use of soil amendments in roadside restoration to promote native species and discourage invasive species establishment through manipulation of water and nitrogen (N) availability. Our goal was to decrease soil N availability and increase soil water content to foster growth of perennial native species on roadsides in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Roadside construction can increase soil bulk density, reduce aggregation, and cause an initial increase in resource availability, which encourages growth of early successional species. In addition, N deposition from the ...
