Invasive species in California, the introduced species of fauna−animals and flora−plants that are established and have naturalized within California. Native plants and animals can become threatened endangered species from the spread of invasive species in natural habitats and/or developed areas (e.g. agriculture, transport, settlement).
North America is considered a hotspot for many invasive species of grasses, which threatens all of the endangered native grass species and potentially threatens other grass species. Conservation tactics and management policies can help prevent invasive species from taking over and driving native North American plants to extinction.
It is an invasive species in California, where it is an invasive weed of chaparral and coastal sage scrub habitat along the southern and central coastal regions. [4] It was first introduced to Davis in the Sacramento Valley as a drought-tolerant range grass for grazing. [5] [6] It is also known as an invasive species and weed in parts of Australia.
California's coastal prairies are the most species-rich grassland types in North America, with up to 26 species present per square meter. [1] They have been described in literature as "previously unrecognized biodiversity hotspots," and are also known to provide an array of essential services—for instance, carbon storage, water filtration, agriculture, and livestock farming.

Aegilops triuncialis, or barbed goatgrass, is a grass species of the family Poaceae. [1] It is a winter annual native to many areas in Eastern and Mediterranean Europe and Western Asia. [2] It is considered an introduced, invasive species in North America, mainly in the Western coast of the United States. [3]
Ammophila arenaria is a species of grass in the family Poaceae. It is known by the common names marram grass and European beachgrass. [2] [3] It is one of two species of the genus Ammophila. It is native to the coastlines of Europe and North Africa where it grows in the sands of beach dunes.
A native grass of California that was once a dominant species in California grasslands before invasive European grasses became dominant. The seeds were an important food source for many of the Indigenous peoples of California. Today, the bunchgrass is the State Grass of California and plays an important role in native grassland restoration and ...
