Many new advances in greening science made their debut at the 2020 ESA annual meeting.

Lawn grasses, tree cultivars, and other ornamental plant "cultigens" are what most urban greenspace is made of.

The ecology of plants that have been hybridized or bred is far less studied than “naturally” occurring species.
