Abstract/Contents:"Soil chemical properties of sand-based root zones of putting greens are subjected to temporal and spatial changes. This study was conducted to investigate total organic C and selected chemical properties as influenced by sampling depth, putting green age, root zone mixture and the fertilization program during the establishment period. Four USGA-style putting greens were constructed in sequential years from 1997 to 2000. Soil samples were collected when the greens were 6, 7, 8 and 9 yr old, and were partitioned to 12 equal layers before analysis. The root zone mixtures and fertilization regimes during the establishment had no effect on soil properties saving electrical conductivity (EC), which was higher in sand/peat/soil root zones. Total organic C, total N, cation exchange capacity (CEC), EC, and potentially mineralizable N (PMN) decreased whereas soil pH increased with soil depth. Aging affected soil chemical properties at different layers. However, as the green aging, total root zone depth increased due to topdressing practice. The current difference in chemical properties at upper layers may be affected by previous surface properties as well as the changes of hydraulics due to the changes in root zone depth. The total depth of a root zone confounds with the aging effect which is yet to be investigated."
