Calamagrostis Simlensis

Calamagrostis simlensis is a rare and lesser-known grass species native to the mountainous regions of Eastern Europe. It thrives in cool, moist environments and is often found in alpine meadows and rocky slopes. This plant is characterized by its slender, erect stems and narrow, grass-like leaves that turn golden in the fall. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered vulnerable to environmental changes. Studying Calamagrostis simlensis provides valuable insights into the ecological dynamics of high-altitude ecosystems.
