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

Effect of Chitosan Molecules on Paraquat Herbicidal Efficacy under Simulated Rainfall Conditions
TL;DR: In this paper , the effect of chitosan on paraquat efficacy under simulated rainfall conditions was evaluated and it was shown that chitoshan may increase the efficacy of paraquats against some noxious weed species under rainfall conditions, which may reduce the risk of contamination into the environment.

Observations of Wild Turkey Nesting in Invasive Cogongrass
TL;DR: Invasive plant species commonly have negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functions but may also provide suitable nesting habitat for wildlife as mentioned in this paper, which suggests that the structure of Cogongrass-invaded plant communities may provide an alternative nesting substrate for Wild Turkeys.

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.
