Abstract/Contents: | "Criticisms of the environmental impacts of lawns, including a high climate footprint, pose challenges to the market acceptance of natural turfgrass. There are limited assessments of how to enhance turfgrass carbon accumulation in order to more efficiently offset maintenance emissions in the northwest U.S. The goal of this study is to evaluate how turfgrass maintenance can be modified to enhance carbon accumulation, and to characterize trade-offs between carbon sequestration, aesthetic characteristics, and maintenance intensity. A portable clear chamber with a CO2 gas analyzer is used to measure CO2 exchange on a subset of treatments from the Oregon School IPM field trials with mixed species of cool-season turfgrasses at year 4 post-establishment. From the mowing trial, we are examining mowing heights of 5 cm weekly and monthly and 10 cm weekly. From the fertilization trial we are comparing 0 and 196 kg N ha-1 applied annually, and from the irrigation trial we are comparing a non-irrigated control to 0.6 cm of precipitation applied four times per week. Data are taken every two weeks to compare those management practices. These data will quantify over two years. To date, turfgrass net ecosystem CO2 exchange rate (NEE) varied by season with higher rates observed during cool months. Fertilization treatment increased NEE during cool months." |
