Abstract/Contents:Presents a study to "investigate whether or not altering the rootzone depth, decreasing it in high areas and increasing it in low areas, will increase the water content near the soil surface in high areas and decrease the water content of the rootzone mix in low areas." Results include that "there were no consistently significant differences observed in quality, color, or leaf surface temperatures among the treatments in 2001...the results from 2000 and 2001 confirm our hypothesis that altering the rootzone depth decreases soil moisture content near the putting green surface in lower regions of the green and increases soil moisture content near the putting green surface in higher areas of greens."
