Two days after Rodgers’ injury, the NFL players union called on the league to convert all playing fields to natural grass.
Different grasses respond to and cope with winter in different ways.
Studies in Yellowstone National Park show plant matter (mostly grass) is found in up to 74% of wolf scats, suggesting the behaviour may be inherited from the beginning of doggy time.
The ideal of perfect turf – a weed-free, supergreen monoculture – is a relatively recent phenomenon.
Improving the diets of livestock in Africa provides a rapid pathway to increasing nutrition for people.
Plant care advice abounds on TikTok, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube – but not all of it is good. A plant expert debunks four common recommendations.
During heatwaves, the highest temperatures are often found in urbanized areas. Small green spaces are often overlooked as a way to cool urban areas.
This grass may hold the key to improving milk yields from cows kept by small-scale farmers across the African continent.
If species already modify their genes, why shouldn’t we?
Recent summers have offered a taste of things to come for Welsh farmers.
Along with climate change and drought, invasive grasses are promoting wildfires across the US, even in areas that don’t normally burn.
Not only can plants survive fire, they can use the experience of being burned to prepare themselves for future blazes.
Cities around Australia have plans to increase their green space, but new research shows not all green spaces are equal. Good tree cover is better than grassed areas for residents’ mental health.
Weeds are serious problems on sports fields, parks and other sites covered with turfgrass. A new strategy uses mechanical force to kill them instead of chemical herbicides.
Pollen counts focus on the amount of grains in the air, but it could be the species that are more important.
Keeping urban habitats such as parks neat and tidy by removing dead wood and leaves is driving the species which live there to extinction.

Unlocking the genetic code of certain grasses could help allergy sufferers.
As summer rolls on once again you’re despairing at a brown lawn. Perhaps you should embrace a shabbier backyard.
