Thatch Decomposition

Thatch Decomposition is a biogeochemical process within turfgrass systems that involves the microbial breakdown of accumulated organic plant residues at the soil surface, distinguished from other soil organic matter dynamics by its specific occurrence in the thatch layer and its direct influence on turfgrass health and environmental quality.
