new to me in the green stage only seen it ins red avatar: red brome ie in its drier form in pastures and old roadsides in rural southern usa
*Anil*: i wonder why is it being introduced in India now that water crisis has hit India with some force in middle of global warming. its a cause for wildfires now, in usa where none existed in earlier decades may be folks who introduce plants do not take ecology into account?? they should read this: https://ceb.bio.uci.edu/data/invasive-species-handbook/bromus-madritensis/ esp this paragraph : i quote: * "Performance of invader in CA (interactions with species native to S. CA):* *Produces persistent fine fuels that have been linked to the increase frequency * *and intensity of fires in the south west US. The abundance of B. madritensis * *increased sharply in the 1970’s, especially in the Mohave DesertIn California chaparral, fall germination of foxtail chess gives the grass* * a competitive advantage over shrub seedlings."* end quote *And if its not a new introduction now in India * when did it come to India and how widespread is it? is there a map of its distribution? sorry to give a message of caution.
