| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses a Wisconsic Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) rule, NR151, to reduce non-point source pollution by requiring the use of buffer strips of prairie to be planted between mowed areas and water. States that in 2009 "the WDNR acceded to lack of buffer strip data, and at least temporarily removed the buffer strip requirement until scientific data could be developed to properly guide future regulation." Describes a study "to research the usefulness of buffer strips on golf courses" conducted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that researchers "chose to test fine fescues alongside prairie plantings for the buffer strips because fine fescues are already used in rough areas of many golf courses and they were suited to the realtively low pH soil." Reports that "all treatments had equal water infiltration and returned about 50% of precipitation as potential groundwater." States that "it is impossible to achieve zero phosphorus in runoff or nitrate in leachate as both of these minerals are often naturally abundant and play an important role in healthy ecosystems." |
