- 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.]]> 2018-03-12 19:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/1026242134/kk6dfpc5pue1/wish/241097225 1026242134 https://padlet.com/1026242134/kk6dfpc5pue1/wish/241099043 grasslands are being affected by deforestation.

Plants rely on soil, water, and the sun for energy. Animals rely on plants and other animals for energy. They balance each other out.

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 healthof some types of temperate grasslands.]]> 2018-03-12 19:55:49 UTC https://padlet.com/1026242134/kk6dfpc5pue1/wish/241099287 1026242134 https://padlet.com/1026242134/kk6dfpc5pue1/wish/241099406 Bison: digestive systems adapted to eat the grassesand horns to protect from predators
