Abstract/Contents:Briefly discusses a study conducted to "differentiate between the influence of wear and soil compaction and their interacton on turfgrass stress, and...to determine if the changes in the soil's physical properties due to soil compaction have more effect on plants growing in a native silt loam soil or on a sand rootzone." Details methods and materials used in the study, stating that "wear treatment began in September 2005. Soil compaction on both soils was applied using a Vibro-Tamper prior to seeding the plots. The plots were seeded with a Kentucky bluegrass/perennial ryegrass blend on September 14, 2004." Reports that "the data collected from October 2004 through June 2005 demonstrate that soil compaction can have a profound effect on turf establishment as a result of construction activities."
