| Abstract/Contents: | "The physical properties of golf root-zones which had received simulated wear were compared with the performance of the same root-zones in the laboratory after they had been subjected to two different levels of compaction at four initial moisture potentials. In general, there were strong relationships between laboratory and field properties for drainage rate, air-filled pore space and capillary porosity but not for total porosity. Field measurements of infiltration rate after four years were approximately one tenth of the corresponding hydraulic conductivity values measured in the laboratory, but laboratory measurements tended to underestimate air-filled pore space in the field. Based on a compaction energy of 18.9 kJ m⁻² at a moisture potential of -4kPa, it is proposed that for the United Kingdom minimum requirements for mixes are a hydraulic conductivity of 150 mm h⁻¹, a capillary porosity of 15% and an air-filled porosity of 10%, although for the latter a value of 15% is preferred." |
