Book excerpt: Sustainability is a key framework for analyzing biological systems—and turfgrass is no exception. It is part of a complex that encompasses turfgrass interactions with different environments and the suitability of different turfgrasses for specific environments. In addition to its biological role, turfgrass—in the form of lawns, green spaces, and playing surfaces—brings beneficial sociological effects to an increasingly urbanized society. This book presents a comprehensive overview of current knowledge and issues in the field of turfgrass research and management, including the genetics and breeding, the diseases and pests, and the ecology of turfgrasses, and will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers.

Download or read book The Science and Engineering of Sport Surfaces written by Sharon Dixon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sports surface design is crucial for the successful performance of sports skills and the reduction of injury risk. Surfaces have developed from natural materials such as turf, clay and cinder, to synthetic surfaces such as acrylic tennis courts, artificial turf for soccer and synthetic running tracks, while our understanding of natural turf has developed in terms of properties appropriate for different sports and surface sustainability. This book draws together the very latest research on biomechanical, medical and engineering approaches to the study of sports surfaces. Written by a team of leading international sport scientists, engineers and technologists, the book covers every key aspect of surface development and design, including: surface behaviour surface classification, function, construction and maintenance influence of surfaces on player performance and injury surface test methods and monitoring development of natural turf and synthetic surfaces shoe-turf interaction future developments in sports surface technology. Representing the most comprehensive and up-to-date study of sports surfaces, this book is important reading for all researchers and professionals working in sports technology, sports engineering, biomechanics or sports medicine.

Download or read book The Smart Guide to Maintaining Synthetic Sports Turf Long Pile written by Martin Sheppard and published by . This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popularity of the synthetic sports surfaces has seen more than 100 fields installed in Australia for various football codes, with another 50 already being planned. Historically the perception was that you could play 24/7 on the fields and little maintenance was required. Written by Australian synthetic sports turf expert Martin Sheppard, in conjunction with Europe's leading expert Alastair Cox; The Smart Guide to Maintaining Synthetic Sports Turf (Long Pile) brings together the best thinking globally. It addresses the importance and principles of maintenance; the type of maintenance that typically needs to be completed; the machines to use; research from the world governing body for Football (FIFA) together with typical schedules for consideration.Targeted at the key investors in synthetic surfaces in Australia including local government; sport and the education sectors Sheppard stated "the average life expectancy of synthetic sports fields is around ten years and cost in excess of $1.2 m to install, yet some purchasers believe the old sales spin that you can play on them 24 hours a day and no maintenance is needed. This isn't true".
