| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potential threat of nutrient runoff, suggesting that the runoff of phosphorus, in particular, "is the most serious environmental challenge facing golf courses today." States that "the results of...44 water-quality studies at 80 golf courses support that conclusion." Details general methods used during the studies, explaining that "the study appraised both surface and ground water samples for 161 turf-related pesticides and pesticide metabolities, as well as nitrate-nitrogen and total phosphorus." Reports that the concentrations for pesticides, pesticide metabolites, and nitrate-nitrogen "were not alarming," but notes that "86.5% of the surface water samples for total phosphorus exceeded their ecoregional criteria." Emphasizes the possibility of phosphorus being absorbed by plants and then released into the environment "when plants die due to freezing or high temperatures, drought, disease, insect damage, or at the end of its life cycle." Mentions that decaying wetland vegetation may contribute to increasing the "'so-called irreducible concentrations'" of total phosphorus and total nitrogen. |
