TLDR
Cogongrass is a major impediment to reforestation efforts in southeast Asia, the number one weed in agronomic and vegetable production in many parts of Africa, and is responsible for thousands of hectares of lost native habitat in the southeastern U.S.Abstract:
Cogongrass is considered to be one of the ten most troublesome and problematic weedy species in the world. This species is found throughout tropical and subtropical regions, generally in areas dist...read more

Recarbonization of the Humid Tropics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the current state of knowledge on C stocks and fluxes in humid tropical forests, and investigate management interventions for the recarbonization the humid tropics.
Imperata cylindrica (cogon grass).
TL;DR: The ability of I. cylindrica to effectively compete for water and nutrients, spread and persist through the production of seeds and rhizomes that can survive a wide range of environmental conditions, and its allelopathic effects and pyrogenic nature, allow it to exclude native plant species and other desirable plants and dominate large areas of land as mentioned in this paper .

Mapping and modelling the invasion dynamics of Senna obtusifolia at different levels of scale in Australia
TL;DR: The authors in this paper conducted extensive mapping and modelling of the current and future distributions and the invasion dynamics of Senna obtusifolia in Australia to facilitate early detection of outbreak populations and the development of appropriate management strategies.

Effects of weed abundance and frequency of hand weeding on the establishment of transplanted Imperata cylindrica
Susumu Yamada,Masayuki Nemoto +1 more
TL;DR: For successful revegetation, land managers should use soil that does not contain creeping rhizomes of S. halepense, and hand weeding twice a year for 2 years is sufficient for establishment of I. cylindrica.

Evidence for the existence of three primary strategies in plants and its relevance to ecological and evolutionary theory
TL;DR: A triangular model based upon the three strategies of evolution in plants may be reconciled with the theory of r- and K-selection, provides an insight into the processes of vegetation succession and dominance, and appears to be capable of extension to fungi and to animals.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors generated estimates of the area of Imperata grasslands in tropical Asia, and suggested a typology of grasslands that may be useful to define the pathways toward appropriate land use intensification.
