文摘

This paper reports for the first time preliminary data on carbon uptake of warm-season turfgrass at a well-managed sod farm in south central Georgia. It examines the changes in carbon uptake from one of the most widely used warm-season turfgrass cultivars in the world, Tifway Bermudagrass. It elucidates the role of canopy density and light avalaibility on the net carbon uptake using the eddy-covariance technique.  Preliminary evidence suggests that turfgrass is effective  at sequestering carbon dioxide during the summer months even when the canopy is being reestablished following a grass harvest.
