Summary:Turf and vegetation management practices differ at airports because of each airport's unique terrain, geography and vegetation. Although there is some guidance from the Federal Aviation Administration on airside applications for artificial turf, information on the means, methods, techniques and practices airports use to manage airfield turf and vegetation is sparse. ACRP Synthesis 128: Airfield Turf and Vegetation Management Practices, from TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program, documents airfield practices for turf and vegetation management given the various constraints of staffing, equipment, safety, funding, climate and regulations.
