Jul 2, 2014 · The following measures can be t aken for maintenance of road dividers and t raffic islands: i. Extend vegetation or mounding of earth, blocks, or bricks 20 cm above the top of curb height.
Management of roadside vegetation, road-island planting and slope cover. Because the roadside green may turn to be an optical oasis for the driver and the fellow passengers, it must be properly...

Most of the evidence synthesised in this systematic review was selected from the recently compiled systematic map of biodiversity impacts of roadside management . The systematic map was based on literature searches using 13 publication databases, four search engines and 36 specialist websites. The majority of these searches were performed in Octobe...
Articles identified during the search update were evaluated for inclusion at three successive levels. First, they were assessed by title. Next, each article found to be potentially relevant on the basis of title was judged for inclusion on the basis of abstract. Finally, each article found to be potentially relevant on the basis of abstract was jud...
Studies that passed the eligibility criteria described above were subject to critical appraisal: Based on assessments of their clarity and susceptibility to bias, they were categorised as having high, low or unclear validity (with regard to our review question). Studies were excluded from the review due to low validity if any of the following facto...
Outcome means and measures of variability (standard deviation) or precision (standard error) were extracted from tables, graphs and text in the included articles. When necessary, image analysis software (WebPlotDigitizer, http://arohatgi.info/WebPlotDigitizer/) was used. Extracted outcomes included measures of species richness, species diversity (e...
To the extent that data were available, the following potential effect modifiers were considered and recorded:
The studies included in this review reported on several different types of vegetation removal (e.g. mowing, burning and grazing) and their effects on different measures of biodiversity (species richness, species diversity and abundance) of vascular plants and invertebrates. However, the only combinations of intervention and outcome that allowed for...
to maintain, and aesthetically less attractive. Invasive plants can severely degrade riparian zones, destabilize slopes, reduce sight lines, increase ire hazards, and in some cases have the potential to cause damage to the highway infrastructure. DID YOU KNOW? It is critical to report plants that are unusual and appear to be growing out-of-control!
Mar 28, 2022 · But there are also more subtle dangers from road construction and maintenance that increase the chances of plant (and animal) deaths, such as by altering the chemical and physical environment,...

Apart from the health benefits, roadside tree planting can help in achieving the goal of 10% tree cover as stipulated in Kenya’s vision 2030. Trees hold the soil firmly in the ground and help to slow and absorb runoff, averting local environmental problems. Currently, Kenya’s forest cover is at 7.6%.

Does vegetation removal on roadsides affect plant and invertebrate diversity?
Why should a road divider be used in urban areas?
Why do we need roadside vegetation?
Planting trees, shrubs and grasses along the road can create a productive asset and can alleviate the negative effects of roads on the local environment. Negative effects include erosion, loss of fertile soils, gully formation that undermines road foundations, heavy dust, and more.
