Family: Poaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Broad climate suitability and wide natural range
  
• Adaptable to tropical climates
  
• Related species have become invasive
  
• Tolerates many soil conditions (and potentially able to exploit many different habitat types)
  
• Tolerates fire and could increase fire risks
  
• Can form almost pure ground cover in native range (could exclude other species)
  
• Reproduces by seeds which may be dispersed externally on the fur of animals

Low Risk Traits:

• No records of naturalization or invasiveness reported
  
• Non-toxic
  
• Landscaping and ornamental value
  
• Genus Muhlenbergia susceptible to herbicides
