Research progress on traffic tolerance of sport turf with different turfgrass species and turfbeds

Traffic tolerance is the key of quality and service life of sport turf and one of the important evaluation parameters. Traffic tolerance of turf is affected by multiple factors and a comprehensive performance conducted by abrasion resistance, compact soil resistance and recovery capability. This paper reviewed the research progress on traffic tolerance comparison of sport turf with different turfgrasses, influence of turfbed substrate to traffic tolerance, trampling manners and evaluation methods. Some existing problems in present research work were explored and the relative solutions were suggested as well.
