Satellite Symposium 1: Optimisation
Description
Key points
1. Grassland system management must account adequately for biophysical and biochemical processes.
2. Amenity turf, especially sports turf, provides an excellent case study on how biology and physics interact to impact on the functioning of a grass ecosystem.
3. Microorganisms produce hydrophobic compounds that act to decrease water ingress and alter the function of the soil-grass ecosystem.
