A phosphorus (P) budget was estimated for the watershed of Lake Mendota, Wisconsin, to assess the effects of nutrient management on P accumulation in the watershed soils. We estimated how nutrient management programs and legislation have affected the budget by comparing the budget for 2007 to a budget calculated for 1995, prior to implementation of the programs. Since 1995, inputs decreased from 1,310,000 to 853,000 kg P/yr (35% reduction) and accumulation decreased from 575,000 to 279,000 kg P/yr (51% reduction). Changes in P input and accumulation were attributed primarily to enhanced agricultural nutrient management, reduction in dairy cattle feed supplements and an urban P fertilizer ban. Four scenarios were investigated to determine potential impacts of additional nutrient management tactics on the watershed P budget and P loading to Lake Mendota. Elimination of chemical P fertilizer input has the greatest potential to reduce watershed P accumulation and establishment of riparian buffers has the greatest potential to prevent P loading to Lake Mendota.

“…We therefore used zero as our minimum estimate for urban P fertilizer use. Maximum estimates assumed that 20% of the 200,000 lawns in the watershed were fertilized twice a year which is a baseline recommended rate of application (Soldat and Petrovic 2008). The most likely estimate was an average of the maximum and minimum estimates.…”

“…Time to runoff for grass generally ranges from 2 to 15 min [26] [27]. Sediment loss from grass can range from 10 to 180 kg·ha −1 over 35 min [26], or from 0.1 to 104 kg·ha −1 per event of 12 to 30 min duration [28]. In our study, the soil was initially-dry and slopes were less-steep than for studies in the literature; therefore, we showed increased time to runoff compared with literature studies.…”

Construction in urban zones compacts the soil, which hinders root growth and infiltration and may increase erosion and degrade water quality. The purpose of our study was to determine whether planting prairie grasses and adding compost to urban soils should partially mitigate these concerns. We simulated construction activities by removing the topsoil, and compacting the soil by repeatedly driving over it with a tractor. Additionally, treatments included three compost application methods (compost and aeration, rototill and compost, surface compost). Plots were subjected to simulated rainfall applied using overhead sprinklers at a rate of 65 or 72 mm•h ) compared to plots planted with bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.). A 5 to 7.5 cm thick compost blanket reduced time to runoff (60 min) compared to no compost addition (9 min). Topsoil addition without compost did not develop dark surface soil. Compost additions are recommended to reduce negative effects of urban compaction. Over time, the depth of compost additions decreased, necessitating further additions.

“…Obviously, increasing the intensity of management is a strategy for golf course to attract more visitors under this condition. The intensively managed turfgrass areas are subjected to routine applications of fertilizer and agrochemicals to support plant growth and http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2015.11.056 1470-160X/© 2015 Published by Elsevier Ltd. maintain esthetic quality, including tees and greens, and fairways (Soldat and Petrovic, 2008). Meanwhile, the negative environmental effects caused by intensive managements will increase, such as nonpoint-source pollution (Haith, 2010), large consumption of water (Diaz et al, 2007) and greenhouse gas emissions (Li et al, 2013).…”

a b s t r a c tGolf courses have been shown to have a positive impact on local biodiversity, quality of life and the economy. However, the impacts of golf courses on local environment, including ecosystem services and dis-services are not clearly understood. To explore this relationship, we took two golf courses in Beijing (a links course and a parkland course) to develop an assessment framework and present estimates of economic values of net ecosystem services, in aspects of ecosystem goods, carbon fixation, soil retention, flood storage, recreation, water consumption and nonpoint-source pollution. The results showed that the two golf courses have provided remarkable net ecosystem services values (links 51.58 × 10 4 yuan/ha/yr, parkland 42.60 × 10 4 yuan/ha/yr, 6.19 yuan = 1 US$ in 2013). Over 95% of this value is generated by three services: recreation, ecosystem goods and flood storage. Our results indicate that the parkland course has better performance in sustainable supply of ecosystem services than the links course. In addition, this study provides useful improvements for golf course design and management concerning positive environmental externalities optimizing, including the scaling of non-playing areas to maximize golf course ecosystem services supply capacity, appropriate grass species selecting and irrigation with recycled water. Moreover, a policy analysis suggests that the development of public golf course in China is a necessary complement to resolve the mismatch between private and public benefits and let more people enjoy the ecosystem services.
