| Abstract/Contents: | "Two warm-season turfgrasses, including Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon) and zoysiagrass (Zoysia matrella), and three cool-season turfgrasses, including tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea), Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) were selected to study their growth responses under the simulated soil copper contamination conditions. The results showed that soil copper contamination did not significantly affect the leaf growth of Bermuda grass and its influence on root biomass and leaf chlorophyll content in all cool-season turfgrasses under soil copper contaminations. Soil copper contamination did not significantly affect the turf density of tall and perennial ryegrass. Although Kentucky bluegrass showed a significant decline of leaf growth rate, no significant decline on its root biomass was found. This suggested its relative strong copper tolerance. it could be concluded that Bermuda grass, tall fescue or Kentucky bluegrass could be selected for the vegetation restoration and landscape of copper contaminated soils." |
