Short summary
Urbanisation is becoming increasingly important in terms of climate change and ecosystem functionality worldwide. Temperate turf grass lawns in peri-urban environments have been identified as strong greenhouse gas emitters, even comparable to intensive agriculture. Conversely, this study identified subtropical turf grass as reducing greenhouse gas emissions significantly shortly after an initial establishment phase, despite changing nitrogen cycling in peri-urban soils.
