The article discusses how turfgrass management in the US can be improved to protect community and environmental health. Turfgrass covers a significant portion of the country's developed land, and as cities grow, it's important to find ways to manage turfgrass that reduce the need for pesticides and fertilizers. By increasing biodiversity in turfgrass systems, we can enhance ecosystem services like carbon storage, nitrogen retention, and weed suppression. This approach could lead to more sustainable turfgrass management practices in urban areas.
