Lolium perenne, common name perennial ryegrass, [1] English ryegrass, winter ryegrass, or ray grass, is a grass from the family Poaceae. It is native to Europe, Asia and northern Africa, but is widely cultivated and naturalised around the world.
[2] [3] It is often called ryegrass, but this term is sometimes used to refer to grasses in other genera. They are characterized by bunch-like growth habits. Lolium is native to Europe , Asia and northern Africa , as well as being cultivated and naturalized in Australia , the Americas , and various oceanic islands.
Pores (the spaces that exist between soil particles) provide for the passage and/or retention of gasses and moisture within the soil profile.The soil's ability to retain water is strongly related to particle size; water molecules hold more tightly to the fine particles of a clay soil than to coarser particles of a sandy soil, so clays generally retain more water.

The leaf litter on the ground around a plant can provide an evaporative barrier to prevent water loss. [citation needed] A plant's root mass itself may also hold organic material that retains water, as in the case of the arrowweed (Pluchea sericea).
Leymus arenarius can grow exponentially in terms of height and root development in the presence of nitrogen.L. arenarius is known to take up nitrogen into its root system. . Increasing nitrogen concentrations can promote growth, as over time, the plant mass above the surface may not change, but nitrogen will accumulate in the root syst
A membranous appendage or fringe of hairs called the ligule lies at the junction between sheath and blade, preventing water or insects from penetrating into the sheath.

It may sound counterintuitive, but drinking more water can help you lose water weight. "For most people, drinking more water will actually flush out the sodium," says Badgett. Drinking enough ...
Hay requires protection from the weather, and is optimally stored inside buildings, [31]: 89 but weather protection is also provided in other ways involving outdoor storage, either in haystacks or in large tight bales (round or rectangular); these methods all depend on the surface of an outdoor mass of hay (stack or bale) taking the hit of the ...
