| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the effects obtained by turfgrass from an icy winter. Overviews the weather in Wisconsin during the winter of 2013. Notes the two types of ice damage that can occur, direct ice cover and ice encasement, and describes the effects of each. States that "direct ice cover injury results from ice acting as a barrier to gas exchange between the turf tissue and atmosphere" and that ice encasement is where "the soil becomes frozen when saturated...with a significant surface ice layer. This removes oxygen from the soil which is needed for plant growth." Depicts a field study performed on Kentucky bluegrass and creeping bentgrass that tested the effects of each type of ice coverage. Explains how to remove ice formations. |
