| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As a result of investigating the vegetation of a golf course with a long history, endangered species and many grassland plants listed in the national and regional editions of the Red Data Book were grown. The golf courses may function as refugia for grassland plants and seed sources. Course management methods effect species diversity. Mowing frequency and mowing height have a great influence on species diversity. Mowing frequency is low and mowing height is high, species diversity is high. In addition, a questionnaire survey that grasps the intentions of golf course officials showed that most golfers are favorable to the growth of wild grass.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
草原の面積は減少を続けており，草原生植物の多様性も減少をしている．これまでは非商業地の半自然草原における植生保全が注目されてきたが，商業的利用の草原であっても，種多様性の高い草原植生を保全できれば，草原生植物の逃避場所や種子供給源として位置づけられる．本研究では，生物多様性への悪影響が強調されてきたゴルフ場で生物多様性の保全の可能性を明らかにしたこと，さらにゴルフ場は今後も継続管理される可能性が高いことも草原生植物の保全のためには重要である．
