Bouteloua gracilis

Bouteloua gracilis, the blue grama, is a long-lived, warm-season (C4) perennial grass, native to North America. Muhlenbergia cuspidata and Bouteloua gracilis are grasses of Canada, grasses of the United States and native grasses of the Great Plains region.

Broom

A broom (also known as a broomstick) is a cleaning tool consisting of usually stiff fibers (often made of materials such as plastic, hair, or corn husks) attached to, and roughly parallel to, a cylindrical handle, the broomstick.

See Muhlenbergia cuspidata and Broom

Dominance (ecology)

Ecological dominance is the degree to which one or several species have a major influence controlling the other species in their ecological community (because of their large size, population, productivity, or related factors) or make up more of the biomass.

See Muhlenbergia cuspidata and Dominance (ecology)

Drought

A drought is a period of drier-than-normal conditions.

See Muhlenbergia cuspidata and Drought

Erosion

Erosion is the action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust and then transports it to another location where it is deposited.
