Colonial bentgrass

<em>Agrostis capillaris</em>, colonial bentgrass, is a perennial grass in the family Poaceae with an extensive native range across Europe and naturalised populations in North America, South America, and Oceania, including Australia and New Zealand. This species is highly adaptable, colonising tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, temperate grasslands, disturbed soils, roadsides, and cultivated landscapes within the Neotropical realm. It is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN. Colonial bentgrass is a fine-leaved, low-growing species often used in lawn and sports turf applications due to its tolerance for close mowing and its capacity to form dense, even swards. Its panicle inflorescences bear numerous small spikelets on delicate, hair-like branches, giving the species a feathery appearance when in flower. In its naturalised range, <em>Agrostis capillaris</em> can become invasive, competing with native grass species in acid grasslands and open heathlands. The species tolerates acidic and nutrient-poor soils, attributes that contribute to its widespread persistence in degraded landscapes. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Hemitrichia pardina는 점균류(점액 곰팡이)로, 숲 서식지의 썩은 목재와 식물 낙엽 위에서 자라며 황갈색 외피막을 가진 작은 유병 구형~난형 포자낭을 형성한다. 내부의 세모실 실은 포자 산포를 돕는다. 이 종은 온대 및 열대 숲에 걸쳐 광범위하게 분포하며 미생물 먹이 그물에 기여한다.
