Soil Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Australian Sports
Managed turf is a potential net source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including turf used on sports fields and at sport stadiums. While most studies to date have focused on non-sports turf, sports turf may pose an even greater risk of high GHG emissions due to the generally more intensive fertiliser, irrigation and mowing regimes. Using sophisticated automated chambers to capture nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) emissions from three sports fields in Melbourne, in sou
