Abstract/Contents:Presents a study with the following objectives: "1) To examine the effects of rootzone composition and putting green construction method on water drainage and redistribution within the profile. 2) To assess the effects of rootzone composition, soil depth and degree of water perching on turf water use and irrigation management. 3) To examine long-term changes in physical, biochemical and microbiological porperties of the rootzone; and relate these changes to the long-term hydrologic behavior of modern putting green designs." The study also investigates "the influence of green construction method [USGA and California specifications] on hydrologic processes including water infiltration, redistribution within the rootzone, drainage, and uptake by the turf." Results indicate that "putting green profile design, root zone permeability, and slope all yielded distinct hydrologic behaviors," and that "given equal root zone permeability, the experimental USGA greens yielded a more rapid drainage." Notes that "the current findings of our Phase I research are incomplete without a physical characterization of the root zones for the respective experimental greens."
