Bromus kalmii

Kalm's brome

 

Bromus kalmii, Kalm's brome, is primarily found in dry, sandy soils and open woodlands. This grass provides habitat and food for various wildlife species. Kalm's brome serves as a food source for ground-nesting birds, especially during winter, when its seeds are a vital part of the diet for species such as the American Tree Sparrow (Spizella arborea) and Dark-eyed Junco (Junco hyemalis). The grass also contributes to soil stabilization and is beneficial in conservation planting efforts.
