The researchers believe that one of the biggest issues facing the west coast today is the spread of a non-native plant 鈥 known as European beach grass seen above. When European beach grass invades, it creates a monoculture and the populations of native plants, invertebrates, mammals, and birds all suffer, they said. Credit: Andrea Pickart/USbet365下载ios
