Coring (hollow-tine cultivation) as a growth stimulator, plus estimated N mineralization from SOM
Is the real benefit of coring the growth stimulation that happens when turf is cored? Should soil organic matter reduction be considered a reason for or benefit of coring? Plus, how much nitrogen mineralization should be expected from soil organic matter.
