Greenhouse gas fluxes from turfgrass systems: Species, growth rate, clipping management, and environmental effects.

Turfgrass systems can be an important source or sink for greenhouse gases (GHG), including carbon dioxide (CO ), nitrous oxide (N O), and methane (CH ). Further research is required in turfgrass systems; therefore, our objectives were to evaluate the effects of turfgrass species, growth rate, clipping management, and environmental conditions on GHG emissions. Greenhouse gas fluxes were measured in two separate field experiments in West Lafayette, IN.
