Abstract/Contents: | Explains that "various environmental groups have been claiming that turfgrass, while a green carpet of grass, is devoid of biodiversity and should be replaced with native plants or other, more diverse systems." Discusses the biodiversity of turf, stating that "turf stands are definitely not as biodiverse as a natural prairie or forest stand, but they are not monocultures of a single genome either." Mentions the magnitude of arthropod diversity in managed turf and profiles a study conducted at Laval University. |
