| Abstract/Contents: | "Desiccation appears to be the most frequent cause of winter injury insofar as turfgrasses are concerned. Other physiological mechanisms of injury are associated with flooding and ice sheet formation. Deficiency of oxygen, accumulation of carbon dioxide, leaching of cellular contents, mechanical rupture of cells by ice crystal formation and dehydration of tissues are among the mechanisms which are suggested. Injury caused by late spring cold spells after grass has begun growth is common. Cell rupture and desiccation appear to be the chief causes of injury under these conditions." |
