Abstract/Contents:"The examination of 10 turf sports grounds set up in a system "close to the soil surfache [surface]" gave the following results: There are differences between the various methods of construction and the activity of earth worms. Intergreen-A-grounds showed the highest number of earth worms. Older grounds show, in general, a greater activity than newly established grounds. The breadth of the number of individuals within one age group revealed other factors of influence. There is generally greater activity in the grounds in autumn than there is in spring. The influence of wear and tear is very small. The frequency of thatch is reduced by the earth worms. From 100 to 150 earth worms per square meter restrict the thatch to a normal degree. In order to maintain a sufficient water premeability [permeability], mixtures rich in fine material necessitate the activity of earth worms. The mixing activity of the earth worms may lead to considerable transformations of material."
