1. Grass anatomy (why it survives abuse)
Growth from the base
• Grasses grow from intercalary meristems at the base of each leaf.
• When grazed or mowed, the growing tissue remains intact → rapid regrowth.
• This is rare among plants and a key evolutionary advantage.
Leaves
• Long, narrow blades reduce water loss.
• Parallel veins act like reinforced cables, resisting tearing.
• A waxy cuticle and silica deposits make leaves tough and abrasive.
Roots
• Dense fibrous root systems, not a single taproot.
• Roots constantly die and regrow, pumping organic matter into soil.
• This makes grasslands some of the best ecosystems for soil carbon storage.

2. Grass photosynthesis: C3 vs C4 (a huge deal)
C3 grasses
• Use the “standard” photosynthesis pathway.
• Efficient in cool, moist environments.
• Examples: wheat, rice, rye, fescue.
• Lose efficiency in heat because of photorespiration.
C4 grasses (grass’s secret weapon)
• Evolved ~30–35 million years ago.
