| Abstract/Contents: | "Identification of grasses without floral parts can be a challenge. Students are often frustrated with vegetative plant parts that appear to be very similar. In prairie restoration, the ability to identify grass species in the seedling stage is necessary to determine if a planting has been successful. Fifteen common native and introduced grasses were grown in the greenhouse and analyzed as seedlings. Using the most conspicuous morphological features, a key and field guide were developed to identify these desirable and weedy grasses. Students in basic turfgrass or ecology classes, as well as restorationists, can use this information to identify these grasses in their vegetative state in the field." |
