| Abstract/Contents: | Cvs of 7 grass species were sown in August 1977 on a site previously partially sterilized with methyl bromide. In spring 1979 and winter 1979/80 swards were subject to 56 and 64 passes, respectively, with a differential slip wear machine to simulate football wear. Judged by percentage ground cover after treatment, Poa annua was the most wear-tolerant grass followed in decreasing order by Lolium perenne, Poa pratensis, Phleum pratense, Agrostis castellana, Festuca rubra ssp. commutata and F. rubra ssp. rubra. Poa annua increasingly invaded plots of other species during wear treatments, with those plots of Agrostis castellana and both sspp. of Festuca rubra being more abundantly colonized (37%) than those of Poa pratensis (15%), Phleum pratense (5%) and Lolium perenne (2%). Percentage ground cover after wear treatments was positively and strongly correlated with the biomass of swards before treatment, also with amounts of modified acid detergent (M.A.D.) fibre/unit area and turf shear strength. Percentage ground cover after wear was negatively correlated with percentage M.A.D. fibre and percentage cellulose. Wear treatments consistently increased soil bulk density by 0.14 mg/m3 and decreased total pore space from 47% in soils with swards which were not treated to 42%. |
