Agropyron Ciliare Var. Pilosum

Goatgrass, scientifically known as Agropyron ciliare var. pilosum, is a resilient perennial grass native to temperate regions of Asia and Europe. It thrives in arid and semi-arid environments, often found in disturbed soils and along roadsides. This plant is valued for its ability to prevent soil erosion and its use in traditional livestock forage. Its distinctive appearance includes narrow leaves with soft, hairy margins that give it a unique texture. Despite its hardy nature, Goatgrass faces threats from habitat loss and overgrazing, making conservation efforts increasingly important.
