When grasslands are plowed for agriculture, the diversity of native flora gets replaced by non-native crop plants planted in large monocultures.
Fallow plowed lands lose topsoil to dust and erosion. Ecological disturbance can lead to replacement of native grass species. Drier grasslands tend to have bunch grasses that grow from seed.The tendency toward fire suppression in modern agricultural practice affects the health of some types of temperate grasslands.

wild oats - Grasses have adapted to the unreliable levels of precipitation by growing narrow leaves which restrict water loss

foxtail-give it the advantage of having phenotypes and genotypes ready to exploit any opportunity.

ryegrass - are adapted to the cool season zones when grown in single stands for full coverage.
