Abstract/Contents:Presents an experiment conducted "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...[and also] to determine the effect of three different ratios of buffer strips relative to the fairway area draining into the buffer strips." Describes the project setup, stating that "research plots were constructed in 2003 at the Wisconsin River Golf Club (WRGC) in Stevens Point, [Wisconsin]...Buffer strip plots were installed at the edge of fairways and hade slopes ranging from approximately 1 to 4%." Reports that "buffer strips did not affect phosphorus or nitrogen leaching below the soil surface." Briefly compares the use of prairie versus fescue buffer strips. Concludes that "there will always be a background level of nutrients in runoff water because the vegetation itself may serve as a source of nutrients in addition to atmospheric deposition and other sources unrelated to fertilizer."
