Abstract/Contents: | Discusses wear and soil compaction, stating that "wear and soil compaction are the major cause for turfgrass stress under intense traffic on athletic field turf." Presents a study "with the objective to differentiate between the effects of wear and soil compaction on turfgrass performance and soil physical and surface properties." States that "a mixture of Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass was planted on two soils, a sand rootzone and a silt loam." Reports that "wear did not affect soil physical properties while compaction increased bulk density with a subsequent decrease in aeration porosity and saturated hydraulic conductivity (permeability) in both soils showing that the methodology...devised to apply wear was able to differentiate between its influence and soil compaction on turfgrass response." |
