Vulpia myuros, the annual fescue, [1] or rat's-tail fescue, [2] is an annual flowering plant in grass family Poaceae. It was probably originally native to Eurasia, but it can now be found nearly worldwide as a naturalized species. In the United Kingdom it forms dense, even swards of fine, hair-like stems in recently disturbed habitats.
Vulpia is a widespread genus of plants in the grass family, native to many countries around the world and naturalized in many of the nations to which it is not native.It is most common in temperate regions.

[4] [5] For instance, a study for Plant Ecology journal found that sites containing the invasive species Neltuma juliflora had lower biodiversity and indigenous species were displaced. [6] The plant posed a threat to native vegetation such as Prosopis cineraria, and has been used as a shelter for unwanted insects, rodents, and reptiles. [7]

The economic impacts of invasive species can be difficult to estimate especially when an invasive species does not affect economically important native species. This is partly because of the difficulty in determining the non-use value of native habitats damaged by invasive species and incomplete knowledge of the effects of all of the invasive species present in the U.S. Estimates for the ...
