Arundo donax more commonly known as Giant reed
Arundo donax more commonly known as Giant reed
Arundo donax, or giant reed, is a fire hazard because it is highly flammable and can increase the likelihood and intensity of wildfires. The fast-growing canes of giant reed are highly flammable and can easily catch fire. Dense stands of dried arundo can catch fire and allow fire to spread into urban neighborhoods.
Arundo donax also competes with native vegetation for water, nutrients, and space, and can displace native plants and wildlife. It can also recover more quickly than native vegetation, which further decreases biodiversity.
