Agrostographer

/æɡrɒˈstɒɡrəfə/ noun

Definition

A scientist or scholar who writes about or studies grasses, their characteristics, distribution, and uses.

Etymology

From Greek agrostis (grass) + graphos (writer/describer). This is a specialized technical term from the 19th century.

Kelly Says

Agrostographers might sound boring, but they discovered that different grass species can help fight climate change by storing carbon in soil—so grass geeks are actually carbon-fighting heroes.
