Improvements in turfgrass color and density resulting from comprehensive soil diagnostics [PDF]
, 2001 There are roughly 220 golf courses in Arkansas, and as many as 50% of these courses were constructed using common bermudagrass fairways. Although resilient, common bermudagrass loses density and quality over time. In this experiment physical and chemical

Plants as Indicators of Soil Chemical Properties [PDF]
, 2019 We investigated the question whether plant species can be used to indicate quantitative chemical properties of soil in physical units. The investigation is based on the data of the second National Forest Soil Inventory (NFSI II) in Germany. Generalized linear models were used to calibrate species response curves for soil parameters that significantly ...
