Cheatgrass, also known as downy brome, is a type of invasive grass species that is common in North America. It is notorious for rapidly spreading and dominating landscapes, often choking out native plant species. There are several synonyms for cheatgrass, including foxtail brome, bronco grass, military grass, and June grass, among others. These names describe the grass's appearance, season of growth, or historical uses. While cheatgrass may have some limited forage value for livestock, its aggressive growth and tendency to fuel devastating wildfires make it a serious ecological and economic threat in many regions. Management efforts typically focus on early detection and control before cheatgrass can take over entire ecosystems.
