characteristics. Physical and chemical properties of the substrates and their components ( Fig. 2 ; Tables 1 and 2 ) were measured in three samples, which were mixed and taken as one measurement. The physical properties were determined after saturating for 48 h
properties ( Vietor et al., 2007 ). Yet, additional research is needed to relate variation of soil physical properties to variation of turfgrass contributions to SOC during sod growth with and without CMB. Previous CENTURY model simulations of turfgrass

the experiment under the same watering regime as the substrates in the Horhizotrons. Physical properties (waterholding capacity, air space, bulk density) of organic matter substrates were determined using the NCSU Porometer™ ( Fontento et al., 1981

, hydrolyzable nitrogen, rapidly available phosphorus, rapidly available potassium, and organic matter) and soil physical properties (clay content and soil density) for the 0- to 25-cm soil layer were analyzed by the Tianjin Institute of Resource and

types suggests that VWC did influence the physical properties of the containers. We do not believe that fewer differences observed among containers used to produce geranium were a function of the difference in taxon, rather that it may be a result of the
on physical and chemical properties of biochar that contribute to retention of nutrients in soilless medium ( Altland and Locke, 2012 ; Graber et al., 2010 ; Santiago and Santiago, 1989 ). Graber et al. (2010) reported positive effects of biochar
needed on cover crop type, the biomass they generate, and the effects they have on soil properties and succeeding vegetable crops. Additionally, appropriate planting time, after cover crop soil incorporation, needs to be evaluated, since negative impacts
