| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Study the construction of a golf course in a grassland ecosystem. 2. Quantify indicators of soil quality and follow their change during the construction and establishment of a golf course on a natural grassland site. 3. Changes to soil quality indicators will be described, quantified, and used to predict areas where future golf construction and/or management actions may require special attention to minimize their negative environmental impact." This five year study began in 1998. |

| USGA Summary Points: | Researchers have collected samples and established base-line values for a host of critical indicators of soil quality from Colbert Hills Golf Course in Manhattan, KS. Mapping of the area identified seven soil series on the golf course. Changes in soil quality indicators will be described, quantified and used to assist future golf course construction. Computer imaging software is being used to track changes in soil quality indicators. |
