  Bromus carinatus
Bromus carinatus is a cool-season, perennial bunchgrass [86,102,113,116,147,177,230,254,261].
Bromus carinatus is moderately tolerant of saline soils [177,196,230,249,266,272].
Bromus carinatus is 1 of the best forage grasses on western rangelands [111,261], particularly in open habitats, mountainous summer rangeland, and, due to its shade tolerance relative to many other grasses, some forest and woodland habitats [125,265].

  Bromus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bromus is a large genus of the grass family Poaceae with about 160 species.
The genus Bromus is distinguished from other grass genera by the combination of several morphological characteristics, including leaf sheaths that are closed (connate) for most of their length, apicals that are usually inserted subapically, and hairy appendages on the ovary.

 [No title]
Bromus is an early-flowering annual grass with high reproductive output and low competitive abilities.
In a competitive system, Bromus, although it is dominant when there is no interspecific competition, is pushed to extinction when there is no or late disturbance.
This is probably due to the fact that Bromus has the lowest survival in no and late disturbance.

 Population Growth of Oats (Avena) and Bromus
In conformity with the tables 1 and 4, the experimentation was divided in two parts, the preparation of the laboratory and the harvest of the plants.
During the first week, 20 treatments in a factorial design, containing 2 species (Oats and Bromus), 5 sowing densities (10, 20, 40, 60, and 160 seeds), and 2 light intensities (low and high light), were prepared, and carried in a greenhouse at ambient temperature.

The objective of this study was to characterize the genome of the tetraploid B. ciliatus by cytogenetic methods and compare it to other Bromus species.
The results of this study indicate that tetraploid B. ciliatus has different genomes than the European species of bromegrass that have been evaluated such as widely grown smooth bromegrass, Bromus inermis.
Technical Abstract: Tetraploid Bromus ciliatus L. is a North American bromegrass.

 Bromus tectorum (downy brome)
Overgrazing of western rangeland since the introduction of cattle has resulted in trampling of bunchgrasses and destruction of the cryptogam layer, with concomitant increase in evaporation of soil moisture and reduction of bunchgrass populations.
Such disturbance favors the invasion of Bromus tectorum, whose seedlings become established during fall and late winter before the principal germination and growth period of native taxa.
Homesteading and cultivation of winter wheat, beginning with the railroad boom of the 1880s, disturbed the land even further, and accelerated the introduction and establishment of cheatgrass.

Although better known from moist woods in other parts of its range, in our area it demonstrates a clear preference for open, wet to moist places where surface water is fresh.
Because of its abundance and ubiquity, it is common to find smooth brome in moist meadows and other habitats associated with prairie wetlands.
The weedy nature of the introduced annual bromes accounts for their frequent occurrence in previously flooded areas, e.g.
