| Abstract/Contents: | "The techniques and materials involved in the maintenance of relatively small areas of intensively managed amenity grassland, such as sports turf, are neither appropriate nor feasible on a larger scale, as with country parks, or in irregular sites such as banks, verges and waste places. Here, a knowledge of the natural or semi-natural state of grassland in Britain can provide valuable insights into what is, or is not, possible in the establishment of low-management amenity grassland in a given environment. The U.C.P.E. has followed a programme of large-scale field surveys encompassing all its local herbaceous vegetation, which include a wide range of grassland types. This has been coupled to a laboratory-based screening of many species for relevant features of their germination and early growth. From an examination of these bodies of data we see that many of the species of sports turf are limited outside that habitat to intensively managed grassland types such as meadows and fertilized pastures. Here, the common species of low-management grassland rarely feature strongly, but it is to these that attention must be turned if we are to make the maximum use of natural processes in the maintenance of amenity grassland in the wider sense. To assist these developments the U.C.P.E. records are organized into a data bank for easy access and analysis by interested parties." |
