ALEXANDRIA, Va.----The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute today announced that Dr. Amy Townsend-Small of University of California – Irvine acknowledged a computation error of carbon used to maintain turf in the recently released UC-Irvine study published January 19, 2010, titled “Carbon Sequestration and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Urban Turf.” With the error corrected, ornamental grass is in fact shown to be a net sequester of carbon even when inputs are accounted for in grass maintenance.
