| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to determine nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) leaching from various types of turf. Explains that "nitrate leaching from the sampling sites was determined by multiplying the colume of rainwater percolating through the soil by the NO3-N concentration in water samples collected 24 hours following the rain event." Reports that "unplanted sites would be expected to leach more NO3-N because there are no roots present to absorb NO3 mineralized from soil organic matter and nitrogen deposited from the atmosphere...Nitrate leaching from vegetated sites seem to be inversely related to the density of roots within the upper soil layers." Concludes that "results also indicate that nitrate leaching from landscape plantings might be minimized by avoiding unplanted bare ground (even if mulched), large areas planted to ground covers exposed to full sun, and by concentrating on multi-species plantings of herbaceous flowering plants and shrubs." |
