Abstract/Contents:"University of Wisconsin scientists initiated research at Wisconsin River Golf Club (WRGC) in Stevens Point, WI to compare the relative amount of nutrient loading in runoff and leachate when prairie and fine fescues were used as buffer strips alongside golf course fairways. They also wanted to determine the effect of three different ratios of buffer strips relative to the fairway area draining into the buffer strips. The study’s findings include: Golf course fairways infiltrated > 95% of rainfall. Buffer strips of fine fescues provided runoff and leachateresults similar to prairie plantings.Buffer strips, regardless of size, did not affect water volumes or phosphorus runoff from fairways and represented a natural background level of phosphorus in surface water. Nitrogen in water leached from buffer strips of fine fescue or prairie was similar to that obtained under fertilized golf course fairways."
