| Abstract/Contents: | "The use of turfgrass in urban environments is routinely scrutinized. Concerns are raised about fertilizer and pesticide application, as well as, water management practices associated with turfgrass maintenance. The objective of this project was to review research pertaining to the environmental and sociological benefits of turfgrass. A second objective was to provide alternatives (e.g. Best Management Practices - BMPs) which mitigate the environmental impact of turfgrass management practices. Studies have demonstrated the positive and non-harmful impacts of turfgrass systems, particularly pertaining to nutrient and water use. Often turfgrass is perceived as being an over-consumer of fertilizer and water, in spite of multiple research studies showing turfgrass has a high affinity for nutrient uptake and could survive periodic periods of drought. Additionally, but less discussed are the effects of landscapes, turfgrass is a component of an overall landscape, on human behavior and psyche. Turfgrass establishment is a critical component of erosion and sediment control. This project relates findings from published scientific studies and case studies that demonstrate where turfgrass systems have served a functional role in community enhancement and how active stewardship by industry practitioners can influence conservation and policy." |
