Abstract/Contents: | Provides the potential benefits of sand-based athletic field systems, including "a foundation that is not only resistant to compaction, but also capable of maintaining stability and rapid infiltration during periods of heavy rainfall." Focuses on selecting topdressing material for athletic fields. Adds that "effects of excessive organic matter accumulation on sand-based turfgrass systems include decreased infiltration and hydraulic conductivity, diminished air filled porosity, which compromises gas exchange, and reduced root development and growth." Suggests the importance of selecting the proper topdressing sand, preventing soil contamination, cost-effective crumb rubber use, and provides topdressing recommendations. |
