| Abstract/Contents: | "A study was conducted at Penn State University to provide quantitative assessments of hardness and traction, and to determine relationships between these factors, vegetation, soil properties, and maintenance practices on game and practice fields at twelve high schools. Good maintenance practices and good soil and turfgrass conditions were generally found to be associated with lower impact values, which indicated a lesser degree of hardness. Hard surface conditions were associated with lower soil moisture contents, greater bulk denisties, and lesser turf cover. Aerated fields had lower bulk densities and lower impact values." |
