| Abstract/Contents: | With the growing concern of golf courses and the environment the USGA started a Turfgrass Research Program in 1982 that will help answer alarming questions in 1994. But through research other questions arose. "The May-June 1994 issue of the Journal of Environmental Quality will publish The role of turfgrasses in environmental protection and their benefits to humans, by Drs James Beard and Robert Green. Dr. Beard's study was initiated to conduct a detailed assessment of the research literature to obtain a valid, scientifically-based source of information documenting turfgrass benefits." Discusses in depth the three benefits of turfgrasses; functional, recreational, and aesthetic. |
