Though Sehorn did not specifically blame the stadium's experimental tray-system turf, he said, "I caught it on something, and it wasn't somebody else's foot".
Early results obtained in the experimental trays show that rubber crumbs are a good substitute for stone materials used as drainage layer.
While the recolonisation process in control areas depended on the species present in the sediments adjacent to the experimental trays, in fish-farming areas the recolonisation was strongly dependent on the input of amphipods from fouling communities.
The instantaneous intake rate was determined from bite rate measured at pasture on the three sward heights, and bite mass estimated from measurements using swards offered indoors in experimental trays.
The new solution using rubber crumbs is also studied, with experimental trays, to test if it would keep the same insulation properties that the green roof with stone materials.
An experimental mobile tray device, especially designed to test this reinforcement technique in centrifuge at 20g, consists in simulating the settlement of the soft soil located between the inclusions.
Turbulence was generated at one side of the experimental arena (tray) and the waves were ~0.5 mm height and had a periodicity of two waves per second.
Mean residence time distribution (RTD) profiles are measured by tracer technique on a single- and a double-pass experimental half-tray 2.0 and 2.4 m in diameter, respectively.
In recolonization experiments off Georges Bank, Maciolek et al. [26] found that after 14 months, densities of macrofauna in experimental sediment trays remained an order of magnitude lower than in undisturbed sediments, suggesting that recovery rates of defaunated sediments to be very slow and can last on the order of years.
For destructive measures, three transplants were harvested at random from each experimental unit plug tray, with the exception of tray edges.
