European Cheatgrass invading the North American prairies is an example of a disturbance regime because it burns quickly and is very susceptible to fire. [2] As a result, it gives invasive grasses a head start in the reproduction process. Another invasive grass impact example, at the ecological level, is Cordgrass or more specifically Spartina ...
Invasive species are often grouped by threat levels that vary from county to county from very high impact to remarkable increased growth. The species below are by no means comprehensive and are listed in type order rather than level of threat [1] [2] [3]
Sporobolus heterolepis, commonly known as prairie dropseed, [1] is a species of prairie grass native to the tallgrass and mixed grass prairies of central North America from Texas to southern Canada. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is also found further east, to the Atlantic coast of the United States and Canada , but is much less common beyond the Great Plains ...
Japanese knotweed is seen in flower. Yellowish-white flower spikes appear in August and September, making now the best time of year to identify and report occurrences of this invasive species.
This is a list of invasive species in North America.A species is regarded as invasive if it has been introduced by human action to a location, area, or region where it did not previously occur naturally (i.e., is not a native species), becomes capable of establishing a breeding population in the new location without further intervention by humans, and becomes a pest in the new location ...

Some ornamental grasses are species that can be grown from seed. Many others are cultivars, and must be propagated by vegetative propagation of an existing plant. Pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana) is easily recognizable, with semi-dwarf to very large selections for the
The nodes occur at approximately 1 – 3 cm. The leaves are very small to about 1 mm, and arranged in around nodes. The corms are thin, yellow and brown. The roots very fine, black and densely surpassing the ground. Species grows best in the mud at the depth zone from 0 to 3 cm. Specimens reproduce primarily by vegetative division.
