| Abstract/Contents: | An experiment is described in which wear resulting from play on a soccer pitch is compared with the effects of a differential slip wear machine on adjacent land. During the playing season ground cover changes were recorded at intervals as wear progressed. The trial was interrupted by a long period of severe weather, which provided evidence of winter damage, but made analysis of the trial results difficult since the loss of ground cover as a result of winter damage overshadowed the effects of wear. However, before the interruption, the machine and play showed comparable effects on ground cover. Species composition changed during the trial, showing an increase in the proportion of Poa annua as a result of wear and an increase in the proportion of Trifolium repens during recovery at the end of the season. There was little evidence for increasing soil compaction except in the heavier worn parts. |
