| Abstract/Contents: | "Turfgrass in Florida is used for intermittent parking and driving of vehicles. In contrast to asphalt, turf provides environmental benefits: natural air conditioning, percolation, visual attraction, and flexibility for alternate use. This practice demonstrates the great utility of turfgrass, and violates the adage against walking on the grass. Dense, knitted turf roots bind sand, and improve traction resistance. Warm-season turfgrasses are comparatively wear tolerant, due to their reinforced vascular bundles. Unlike temperate areas, sand soils predominate in many parts of Florida, thus compaction problems can be minimal. Potential problems from traffic in turf in Florida are instability for heavy vehicles, need for appropriate grading and drainage design, and lack of motorist familiarity." |
