Bromus inermis, commonly known as smooth brome, is a perennial grass native to Europe and Asia. It is characterized by its tall, erect growth and smooth, narrow leaves. This grass typically grows in a variety of habitats, including meadows, pastures, and disturbed areas, and is often used for forage due to its high nutritional value. Smooth brome thrives in well-drained soils and can tolerate a range of environmental conditions. It is known for its ability to establish quickly and form dense stands, which can help prevent soil erosion. However, it can also become invasive in some regions, outcompeting native plant species.
