| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. To examine changes in particle size distribution, hydraulic conductivity, and calcium carbonate chemistry in calcareous sands used for putting green construction. 2. To qualitatively examine mineralogical properties of calcareous sands with scanning electron microscopy, both prior to and following weathering. 3. To survey existing golf courses of varying ages for variations in physical and chemical attributes of the greens mix." Results "confirmed that calcium carbonate does break down in response to acidification of the soil." This three-year study began in 1998. |
