Fairy grass (Lachnagrostis filiformis) is an Australian native grass that has recently become a major concern for rural communities. Its dried inflorescences are blown by the wind and build up against fences and buildings, becoming a severe fire hazard. Understanding the ecology of fairy grass and its impacts on rural communities is relevant to its management. Four dry lake beds in Western Victoria were selected to determine if environmental factors, such as lake, location, direction, altitude and road type and the covariates of pH, soil salinity, soil moisture and distance to nearest road, are related to the presence of fairy grass. The 'lake' factor was the only environmental parameter that was significantly associated with the presence of this weed.
仙女草(Lachnagrostis filiformis)是一种澳大利亚本土草,最近引起了农村社区的极大关注。它干燥的花序被风吹起,堆积在篱笆和建筑物上,成为严重的火灾隐患。了解仙女草的生态及其对农村社区的影响与它的管理有关。在维多利亚州西部选择了四个干湖床,以确定环境因素,如湖泊、位置、方向、海拔和道路类型,以及 pH 值、土壤盐分、土壤湿度和离最近道路的距离等协变量,是否与仙女草的存在有关。“湖泊”因素是唯一与这种杂草存在显著相关的环境参数。
