Abstract

Anaerobic soils limit the amount of free oxygen available in the rhizosphere and therefore will impede grass root development and restrain nutrient availability for turf growth. An in-situ study was conducted on existing greens to investigate the relationship between $CO_2$ content in the rhizosphere and turf quality. Nine greens were selected in the study. On each green, five 1-m diameter circular plots were randomly selected for conducting the experiment. The greens were sampled 7 times from August, 1998 to August, 1999. Data collected from each plot included turf quality index, $CO_2$ content, and physical properties of the rooting mixtures. Turf quality declined drastically when $CO_2$ content in rhizosphere increased to $5\;to\;6{\mu}LL^{-1}$ during the late summer season. The $CO_2$ content increased as water content in the root zone increased, but was inversely related to infiltration rate. Cultivation of a golf green may reduce $CO_2$ content in the rhizosphere, but the benefit of cultivation decreased with time.

Putting green의 높은 이산화탄소 함량은 많은 골프장 관리자들에게 있어서 green 관리시 항상 난제로 여겨져 왔다. 무기성 토양은 green 근권(根圈:토양 중에서 뿌리의 영향이 미치는 범위)에서 이용 가능한 자유산소를 제한하며 그로 인하여 뿌리발달을 방해하며 잔디성장을 위한 영양분이 용도를 제지시킨다. 이 실험은 현 운영되는 골프장 (South illinois, Carbondale, U,S,A) 에서 선택 되어진 아홉 개의 green 에서 근권의 $CO_2$ 함유량과 잔디품질 (Turf qualify Index) 사이의 관계성을 조사하기 위하여 실행되어졌다. 아홉개의 putting green에서 각 green 의 다섯 곳의 소구획을 무작위로 선택하여 1998년 8월 부터 1999년 8월 까지 일곱번의 반복으로 잔디품질, $CO_2$ 함유량, 수분함량과 수분 침투율 (Infiltration rate) 을 측정하였다. $CO_2$ 함유량은 이른 봄 보다 늦은 여름에 높았으며 $CO_2$ 함유량이 높아짐에 따라 잔디품질은 급격히 낮아졌다. 수분함량이 많을수록 $CO_2$ 함유량이 높았으며 반대로 수분 침투율은 낮아짐을 보였다. 높은 수분 침투율은 $CO_2$ 함유량을 감소시켰다. 결론적으로 알맞은 토양의 물리적 조건(수분 함량과 침투율)이 $CO_2$ 함유량과 잔디성장에 있어서 매우 중요한 역할을 함을 알 수 있다. 잔디품질의 향상을 위해 putting green root zone의 알맞은 배수와 함께 근권의 공기 조건이 매우 중요함이 이 실험을 통해 조사되었다.
