Exploring Grassland Ecosystems: Composition and Structure of Vegetation Strategies

This comprehensive overview examines various grassland ecosystems characterized by their plant composition, including grasses, forbs, and shrubs. The emphasis is on understanding the percentages of grass dominance, alongside the roles of native and invasive species. Key classifications include environments with high grass dominance (>75%), mixtures of grasses and forbs (25-75%), and the presence of low to tall shrubs. The impacts of herbaceous understories and invasive species on these ecosystems are also highlighted, providing insights into plant community dynamics.
