Abstract/Contents:"The effect of 4 restoration treatments, including fertilization, watering, fertilization and watering, natural restoration, on degraded turf caused by setting tents was studied from June to July in 2008 through measuring the coverage, height and density of turfgrass and weed. Univariate analysis was used to detect differences of turf characteristics among 4 treatments, restoration time and their interaction. Results showed that: (1) the degraded degree of turf was accelerated along with time after putting up tents. The heavy-degraded turf need more time to restore than the slight-degraded. (2) Compared with other 3 treatments, fertilization and watering could increase the coverage of turfgrass and weed in the slight-degraded turf but decreased the coverage of litter. The characteristics of turf had no significant difference among treatments in heavy-degraded turf. (3) After restoration, the coverage of turfgrass in heavy-degraded turf increased from 1.80% ± 0.39% to 8.90% ± 2.51% and in slight-degraded turf increased from 7.78% ± 1.79% to 10.98% ± 2.75%. Plant composition was changed significantly. Dominant position of dominant turfgrass (Bromus inermis) was decreased, while the position of Kyllinga cororata and Centella asiatica were increased. The richness and number of weed increased from 5 to 19 after restoration. So the turf dominated by Bromus inermis was heavyly damaged. The management methods could not promote the restoration of degraded turf and it was better to reconstruct."
