Abstract

This poster is a summary of the work I have done for my master's thesis. The goal of this research was to treat new prairie plantings in roadside rights-of-way with a plentiful source of supplemental seed in order to satiate seed predators. The goal of satiating predators was to reduce predation on prairie seed, improving seedling establishment of the planted species.
