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

Secondary succession after fire in Imperata grasslands of East Kalimantan Indonesia
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied an early succession in Imperata grasslands in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, using plots that last burned 3 years, 4 years and 9 years previously on, secondary and primary forest.

Allelopathic Exudates of Cogongrass (Imperata cylindrica): Implications for the Performance of Native Pine Savanna Plant Species in the Southeastern US
TL;DR: Comparisons with a DI water control in year two support the possibility that the treatment effects were due to the negative effects of cogongrass leachate, rather than a facilitative effect from the mixed natives.

Impacts of Herbicide Application and Mechanical Cleanings on Growth and Mortality of Two Timber Species in Saccharum spontaneum Grasslands of the Panama Canal Watershed
TL;DR: Reforestation of areas already invaded or at risk of being invaded by S. spontaneum appears to be a viable strategy to reduce its abundance and subsequent negative ecological effects in the PCW.

Cogongrass (Imperata cylindrica) invasions in the US: Mechanisms, impacts, and threats to biodiversity
James A. Estrada,S. Luke Flory +1 more
TL;DR: It is urged that research efforts focus on: (1) environmental correlates of distribution and performance, (2) the role of propagule pressure in invasion success, (3) enemy release and post-introduction evolution as mechanisms of invasion, and (4) experimental tests of community and ecosystem impacts of invasions.

Effects of glyphosate on photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence and physicochemical properties of cogongrass (Imperata cylindrical L.).
TL;DR: G glyphosate could constrain the growth of Cogongrass effectively by causing adverse effects on photosynthetic pigments, photosynthesis, photochemical activity and the shikimic acid pathway.

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.
