Description
Smooth Cordgrass is a streambank stabilizer native
The smooth Cordgrass is a plant species that can provide coastal wetland protection and erosion resistance. This plant species is commonly used for erosion control along coastal areas, including dikes, marinas, and harbors. When combined with other shoreline vegetation, smooth Cordgrass can provide a barrier that traps and eliminates energy. The effects of elevated salinity levels on plants are cumulative. They can manifest in decreased vigor, stubby stems, and loose leaves.
Site selection is also vital to ensure the plant is placed in an inter-tidal zone. It ensures that the Cordgrass is sensitive to reduced soil sulfides. Water depths of 1 to 18 inches are ideal for establishing plants. However, they tend to slow down and are prone to washout. This plant is adapted to soils such as sandy clays, silty clays, and fine sand. Soils with high organic matter levels can be challenging to establish roots.
Smooth Cordgrass - Some further considerations are as follows;
Planting date
Ideally, smooth Cordgrass should be planted between April and September. In areas with poor water circulation, especially interior marshes, only plant new plants in July and August. It will prevent them from getting affected by high temperatures.
Planting Location
Although smooth Cordgrass is an intertidal plant species, one must plant it within the intertidal zone. This plant can be used for erosion control in areas with a soil-water interface. Smooth Cordgrass is an excellent soil stabilizer for areas with loose and unconsolidated soils.
Shoreline Plantings
Smooth Cordgrass is usually planted as a row parallel to the shoreline
Plant into the soil and attach a hook to the root ball. It is essential to ensure the anchor is long enough to prevent the plant from washing out. When planting bare-root plugs, the holes should only be 3 inches wide to cover the roots. A dibble bar works well for punching a hole that size. To evenly distribute the roots, cup them in hand and push them down into the mud.
