[MAIPC] Another stiltgrass question

[Heidi Allen]

I know there have been several discussions about stiltgrass and I apologize
if I have missed some information. But, I am trying to figure out the
difference between my volunteer site and other volunteer’s success in
removing stiltgrass.

Besides shade, soil characteristics (pH, moisture, etc. ), and deer
browsing has anyone looked into the  habitat restoration plan or the native
seed bank to see if there is an effect upon % of stiltgrass seeds that
germinate, survival rate of seeds, and growth rate of the stiltgrass?
 I am specifically wondering about the following items:
1) The number of native seeds, not type of seeds.
2) the process of invasive removal - either removing all invasive plants in
one year (repeating as needed) or a staging process over several years -
bushes, vines, forbs, other graminoids, then stiltgrass.
3) Planting native plants (plugs and quart sized plants) vs  doing nothing
vs using a seed mix.

I appreciate my guidance people can provide.
