Agropyron Richardsonii

Agropyron richardsonii, commonly known as the needlegrass, is a hardy perennial grass native to the arid and semi-arid regions of North America. This plant is well adapted to harsh environmental conditions, including drought and poor soil quality. It plays a vital role in stabilizing soils and preventing erosion in its native habitats. Its tufted growth habit and deep root system make it an important component of native grasslands. Despite its resilience, Agropyron richardsonii faces threats from habitat loss and overgrazing.
