The review by peers is a process through which the writings of submitted manuscripts are scrutinized by other experts in the same field. This procedure encourages the authors to meet the accepted high standards of the discipline, prevents inadvertent errors, and results in publications of high quality. In this monograph, every chapter was reviewed anonymously by at least two peer reviewers through the intermediary of one or more of the editors, and offered the opportunity to consider the suggestions offered by the reviewers. The editors ultimately are responsible for the quality and selection of the chapters and manuscripts offered, although the authors are responsible for the content of their chapter.

The authors and the editors of Tall Fescue for the Twenty-first Century gratefully acknowledge the peer reviewers listed below, whose selfless dedication and expert knowledge in reviewing the chapters made this monograph possible.
