| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potentially overlooked value of long-term ecological research projects such as the Park Grass Experiment, which has taken place at the Rothamsted Experiment Station in Hertfordshire, England since 1856. Notes that "the absence of the Park Grass results in the turfgrass science literature is conspicuous." Details the history and design of the experiment, highlighting its nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilization trials and the resulting plant biodiversity. Indicates that long-term trials may be a more essential aid than short-term applied studies in advancing weed management and reducing dependency on chemical herbicides. |
