Abstract:

Roadside ditches play an important role in the quantity and quality of receiving waters. Very little, however, is known about the fate and transport of nutrients and trace metals in roadside ditches, especially their leaching to shallow groundwater. This study sought to document selected water quality constituent levels in infiltrated water (i.e., leachate) in roadside ditches maintained with permanent vegetation. Leachate sampling wells were installed in four roadside ditches, and water samples were collected from the wells following major rainfall events during the years 2016 and 2017. The s

Abstract:

Networks of roadside ditches criss-cross the landscape, and have played a significant but previously unrecognized role in flooding and water pollution. This study surveyed town and county highway professionals across New York State (NYS) to determine their ditch management practices. There was a 41% response rate from the 999 highway staff surveyed, representing 54 of the 57 counties statewide. 36.8% of the agencies reported using full scraping or reshaping without reseeding as their primary method of ditch management and half scraped their ditches on average once every 1 to 4 years.

Abstract. Roadside ditches serve an important role for draining storm water. Over time vegetation growth, natural sediment deposits, and other debris can change grade of ditches. Effectively monitoring and identifying these changes to prioritize ditch maintenance is important from both a pavement preservation perspective and prevention of localized flooding. This study evaluates the performance of two mobile LiDAR systems for mapping the cross-section of roadside ditches in the presence of vegetation. The geometric quality of data collected by two different wheel-based LiDAR systems were inves

Abstract:

Roadside mineral licks form when road salt used to de-ice highways in winter runs off road surfaces and accumulates in roadside ditches. Some ungulates are attracted to these roadside licks as they seek to satisfy their mineral requirements. Within the distribution of moose (Alces alces (Linnaeus, 1758)) in North America, motorists often encounter moose visiting roadside licks in mid-summer, with many jurisdictions reporting summer peaks in moose–vehicle collisions (MVCs) at these locations. We used camera traps to monitor the moose visitation of 22 roadside locations (including roadside licks

The features encountered included a broad right-angled ditch, possibly part of the outer defences, turning at this point to run parallel with the road into the fort.

V-shaped ditches represent a significant portion of the roadside environment in Sweden and Finland. The consequences of vehicles leaving the road and entering V-shaped ditches are not well documented in simulation or experimental studies. A series of tests were conducted to document the behavior of passenger cars entering V-shaped ditches. Test conditions ranged from 5° to 20° and 80 to 110 km/h. The tests resulted in many vehicles passing over the backslope, and rollovers were observed in four of the tests.

Abstract:

A challenging guardrail installation situation presents itself when two roadways intersect. Combining the guardrails from intersecting roadway results in what is commonly known as a short radius or T-intersection. It is difficult if not physically impossible to provide the required tensile capacity to the geometrical constraints of the curved section. Researchers and practitioners in the roadside safety area have been investigating the short-radius issue for many years. Investigators conducted numerous crash tests for different short-radius guardrail designs, yet none of those designs passed t

Cyperus EragrostisLam. - A New Adventitious Species in the Flora of SloveniaAbout ten years agoCyperus eragrostis, a species originating in the tropical parts of South America, settled in a trench near the house at Podsabotin 49 in the Goriška Brda. From there the plant spread to similar neighbouring ruderal sites with hydromorphic soil, to roadside ditches and gravelly banks of the Pevmica, a stream on the border between Slovenia and Italy. Applying the standard Central-European phytosociological method we studied the stands in which this species grows together with other hygrophilous and rud

Abstract:

Abstract Understanding species’ habitat and resource requirements is critical for effective conservation. To assess whether a species is imperiled, data are needed on its range and natural history. In this study, we examined the resource use, including diet and habitat associations, of the Slenderwrist Burrowing Crayfish, Fallicambarus petilicarpus, a narrowly endemic primary burrowing crayfish in southcentral Arkansas. We found that F. petilicarpus has an omnivorous diet, feeding on aquatic invertebrates and detritus. We compared habitat characteristics of sites in the Ouachita drainage that

Abstract:

AbstractCommon reed [Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steud.] is an invasive plant that reproduces poorly by seed but regenerates vigorously by rhizomes. Because Phragmites australis propagates well through rhizome growth, invasion often occurs from transported rhizome tissue. We investigated both rhizome-fragment biomass and seasonal effects on survival and growth of ramets. Rhizomes were collected along roadside ditches during the fall of 2009 and 2010 and during the summer of 2010 and 2011. Fall and summer were chosen because the plants were either dormant or actively growing, respectiv

Abstract:

Malva alcea is a relict of old cultivation and its today’s presence is related to the remains of medieval settlements and anthropogenic habitats located in their vicinity (roadsides, roadside ditches and thickets). The article covers the results of studies on the variability of Malva alcea corolla in seventeen localities in Central and Eastern Europe, in the whole habitat spectrum of the species under study. The largest petals (length and width) were found in Germany and two Ukrainian populations. The same populations reached the biggest values with respect to two other traits: the petal lengt

Abstract:

The practice of digging roadside ditches by the Medan City Government is an important part of the flood mitigation strategy and improvement of the urban drainage system. However, this practice not only provides benefits for reducing flood risk, but also has a significant impact on Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) around the area. This research aims to investigate the dynamics of profit and loss from the practice of trenching for MSMEs in Medan, focusing on identifying the challenges they face and opportunities to improve the sustainability of their businesses.

AbstractParasite diagnostics were carried out on 11 Polish populations of Cepaea spp. In three of them, coming from the roadside ditches of a village (Rytel, northern Poland), very high (up to 60%) prevalence of Brachylaima mesostoma was observed. This study provides the first molecular evidence of the presence of B. mesostoma inside Cepaea spp. in Europe. In a few snails from a population found in a private garden in a small town (Chełmża, northern Poland), larvae of Brachylecithum sp. were present. Cercariae and/or metacercariae of B. mesostoma were observed in both species of Cepaea: C. hor

Abstract:

Linear infrastructure such as roads, railways, and irrigation canals causes habitat fragmentation and disrupts wildlife movement, negatively impacting ecosystems. This study investigated the physical characteristics of 80 artificial structures across South Korea and analyzed the status of wildlife entrapment prevention facilities and mammal entrapment incidents within irrigation canals. The surveyed structures, including irrigation canals, drainage canals, and roadside ditches, had an average length of 2.57 km, width of 3.34 m, and height of 1.4 m. Most structures (88.8%) were concrete, while
