Dr. Jim Beard, legendary turf researcher and author, has released a new paper on the origins of native and invasive turfgrass plant species. According to Pete Cookingham at Michigan State University’s Turfgrass Information Center, “It documents recent science-based changes in the dating and biogeographical analyses of grass migration, including the fine-leaf fescues. This paper may be of interest to your key state and regional turfgrass leaders and government decision makers.”
Beard’s paper, in its entirety, can be read HERE.
