USGA Summary Points:Ksat of rootzones varying in amendment at the 0- to 7.6-cm depth (without thatch/mat layer) have not changed dramatically over time (1999-2001). However, Ksat through the surface 0- to 5.1-cm depth (including thatch/mat layer) was dramatically lower than the rootzone mix itself in 2003. Bulk density and air-filled and capillary porosities among samples did not clearly explain the differences in water flow between samples that included thatch/mat versus samples that did not. The current plan of work focuses on documenting the biomass accumulation above sand-based rootzones which is believed to dramatically affect water flow and retention of a putting green as it matures, as well as the properties of the underlying rootzone.
