Furthermore, native grass also creates a deep and extensive root system, which helps to stabilize the soil column and create an environment that is favorable for development of fertile soil that is rich in organic matter while absorbing the excess nutrients from runoff and enhancing infiltration during periods of heavy rain as well as drought.
Organic materials such as crop residue and wood are extensively adopted in the manufacturing of biofuels globally. Native grasses are an excellent species for biofuel production, owing to their wide adaptation, low inputs, ability to grow on poor soils, limited problems with pests, and relatively high biomass yield. Therefore, native grass seeds are extensively used for growing native grasses to increase availability of biofuel feedstock.
