| Abstract/Contents: | "To better understand the effects of environment and management on perenniality in annual bluegrass populations, we evaluated 60 populations of P. annua, collected from 15 golf courses ranging from moderate to highly maintained facilities, both young (<10 yrs.) and old (>50 yrs.), located throughout the state of Utah. These populations are of special interest because of the diverse environments present throughout the state of Utah, which include four climatic regions: desert, steppe, humid-continental, and undifferentiated highlands. This study concluded that selective forces applied by intensive golf course management practices on P. annua populations may overwhelm selective forces applied by the climate. With gene flow readily occurring between golf course microenvironments, P. annua populations can be described as neither annual nor perennial but can be described as intermediate. Also, elevation may be considered a factor in determining life history traits of P. annua but elevation could be confounded with other environmental factors." |
