Agrostis Alaskana

Alaskan bentgrass, scientifically known as Agrostis alaskana, is a rare and resilient grass species native to the subarctic regions of North America. It thrives in harsh environments, including alpine tundras and rocky slopes, where few plants can survive. This grass plays a vital role in stabilizing soil and supporting local wildlife in its fragile ecosystem. Due to its limited distribution and sensitivity to environmental changes, it is considered a species of conservation concern. Its unique adaptations make it an important subject for ecological research and habitat preservation efforts.
