| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses soil organic matter (SOM) equilibrium and its influence on soil fertility, air-filled porosity, water retension and percolation in sand-based root zones. Discusses a study done in 2000 in which 16 golf courses, of varying ages, were surveyed for the mineral content, cation exchange capacity, SOM, and pH. Reports that "before SOM reached equilibrium, SOM under turf increased quadratically. After reaching equilibrium, SOM did not change over time under continued turfgrass management." Reports additional findings on putting greens and fairways. Discusses "the effect of prior land use on SOM in turfgrass." Discusses the influence of soil pH on SOM for fairways and putting greens. Concludes that "SOM accumulation in turf soils occurs at a significant rate at first 25 years to 30 years after establishment." |
