Abstract/Contents:"Turf research, a new field of experimental biological science in Giessen began here in 1958 when the first experiment to test turf grass mixtures and varieties was initiated. The main impulse however came from a plant sociological and ecological investigation which was commenced in Germany in 1960 on 177 sportsfields by R. Pietsch. This survey was followed by a systematic botanical investigation of Poa annua by G. Timm and, in 1964 as a consequence of numerous suggestion, by the establishment of an experimental ground which now has some 2,500 individual experimental plots. The research fields at Giessen University will be widened and will form part of a new department of "Environmental Protection". Experimental activities will be increased and present priority programmes will be expanded to include studies on the preservation of natural non-agricultural grassland and on agricultural land no longer in agricultural use in order to provide either recreational areas or simply to integrate such areas into the landscape."
