Abstract/Contents: | "Two C3 (Poa pratensis L. [KB] and Festuca arundinacea Schreb. [TF]) and two C4 (Zoysia matrella (L.) Merr. [ZY] and Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze [SA]) turfgrasses were exposed to 101 ul/l carbon monoxide (CO) in air for 6 h in both light and dark, as independent experiments, to investigate their ability to remove CO from an urban atmosphere. There were no differences between C3 and C4 grasses, and no differences within pairs of C3 and C4 grasses for cumulative CO removal over the 6-h exposure period in both light and dark. All species released CO during hour 4 and absorbed CO during hour 5, in both light and dark. During hour 6, all species continued to absorb CO in light, but three of the four species released CO in dark. There was more variability in the absorption/release rates when the grasses were exposed to CO in dark than in light. Although differences by single-degree-of-freedom contrasts were not significant, Festuca arundinacea showed the greatest absorption of CO in both light and dark, and it should be tested further to determine its usefulness as an absorber of CO from the urban environment." |
