| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted by W.M. Dest and J.S. Ebdon to "differentiate between the influence of wear and soil compaction, their interaction, and which had the greater effect on turfgrass stress and species composition; and second, to compare the effects of soil compaction between a native soil and sand rootzone on their physical properties...and their relationship to plant stress." Details the materials and methods used in the study, stating that "the compaction treatments were applied using a vibro-Tamper prior to seeding the plots...Wear treatments were simulated with a steel brush set into a frame." Reports that "although most of the reduction in vegetative cover was associated with the sand rootzone, the data strongly suggests that soil compaction as a result of construction activities can have a profound effect on turfgrass establishment." Concludes that "Kentucky bluegrass increased in the population from 2006 to 2008, showing its greater recuperative potential compared with perennial ryegrass." |
