Green Needle Grass
This grass is an important native of the Northern Great Plains, and is found as far south as Arizona. Green needlegrass grows on medium- to fine-textured soils. On medium-textured soils, green needlegrass grows with western wheatgrass, needle-and-thread and blue grama. On finer-textured soils, needle-and-thread drops out, and on even finer soils blue grama decreases leaving green needlegrass and western wheatgrass as dominants. This grass grows at all elevations up to about 5,000 feet, and is moderately drought tolerant. The chief use of this grass is grazing. It is recommended for seeding in the 12- to 18-inch precipitation zone.
Green needlegrass is very resistant to disease. It occurs only sparingly in most of the associations of native vegetation. It is distinctly less well-adapted to dry soil conditions than needle-and-thread, and occurs in greatest abundance on areas where the native vegetation has been disturbed, or in swales where moisture conditions are somewhat more favorable. It is particularly abundant in the early stages of natural revegetation of abandoned cultivated fields.

What adaptations would you expect to find in an animal which eats grass?
An animal that eats grass may have adaptations such as flat grinding teeth for chewing tough grasses, a large digestive system for breaking down cellulose, and a fermentation chamber to aid in digestion. They may also have a multi-chambered stomach or specialized enzymes to extract nutrients from plant material.
Adaptations of grass eaters?
Grass eaters have evolved adaptations such as specialized teeth and digestive systems that allow them to efficiently digest and extract nutrients from tough grasses. Some have also developed symbiotic relationships with microorganisms in their digestive tracts that help break down cellulose. Additionally, their feeding behavior, such as grazing in large herds, helps protect them from predators and ensures a steady food supply.
What are the adaptations of a cow?
Cows have several adaptations for survival, including a 4-chambered stomach for digesting tough plant material, a specialized digestive system for fermenting cellulose, a large rumen to store food before processing it, and a complex network of social behaviors for herd protection.
What is a serval's behavioral adaptations?
Serval's behavioral adaptations include their excellent hunting skills, such as their ability to leap high into the air to catch birds in flight, and their keen sense of hearing that allows them to detect prey hidden in tall grass. They are also very agile and can run at high speeds to chase and capture fast-moving prey.
