Gas exchange and growth/decline model of C3 turfgrass fields under various light conditions

Assessing shade stress in leaves of turf-type tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.)

“…Low light intensities negatively affect the growth and stress tolerance of turfgrass (Beard 1997). Shade effects on turfgrass are inevitable around trees and buildings, or in stadiums where natural turfgrasses are used for highquality playing surfaces (Bell et al 2000, Matsubara et al 2019. There is a large variation in the levels of shade tolerance among turfgrass species and cultivars (Gilbert andDiPaola 1985, Van Huylenbroeck andVan Bockstaele 2001).…”
