correlated with human population densities in various watersheds (Peierls et al., 1991; Vitousek et al., 1997). Turfgrass landscapes have the potential for loss of applied N However, the underlying sources of elevated N in waterthrough both runoff and leaching. Lower maintenance alternative vegetation used in mixed-species landscapes may reduce N leaching sheds remain unclear. One possibility i...

Turfgrass managers have suspected that runoff-independent movement of herbicides and fertilizers is partially responsible for uneven turfgrass quality in sloped areas. We hypothesized subsurface lateral solute transport might explain this phenomenon especially areas with abrupt textural changes between surface horizons. A study was conducted to track using bromide (Br−), a conservative tracer, ...

water supply of green spaces in arid areas is a major challenge. a high percentage of green spacescreate lawns, which are high water consumer landscapes. due to the environmental, recreational andathletic values of lawns, they are considered as non-removable elements in urban green space development.this paper reviews and discusses strategies for efficient water usage in lawn areas using librar...

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates have become more prevalent among athletes. The objective of this study is to examine the survival S. on synthetic turf systems and natural turfgrass under varying environmental conditions evaluate effectiveness various control agents applied turf. Under non-extreme temperature very limited light conditions, less than 4% survived both f...
