-Will be working on finding an article to support this statement for a class project.

subject from: pioneer species

Common examples of the plants in such areas include:[citation needed]
 * Raspberry - Rubus spp.
 * Heaths - Ericaceae spp.
 * Graminoids, forbs, and wildflowers - native, introduced, and invasive species: such as fire dependent seed, cone, and resprouter chaparral genera.

Topic to add information to: graminivore

Graminivore's generally exhibit a preference on which species of grass they choose to consume. For example, according to a study done on North American bison (Bison bison L.) feeding on shortgrass plains in north-eastern Colorado, the cattle consumed a total of thirty-six different species of plant. Of that thirty-six, five grass species were favoured and consumed the most pervasively. The average consumption of these five species comprised about 80% of their diet. A few of these species include Aristida longiseta Steud., Muhlenbergia sp., and Bouteloua gracilis (H.B.K.) Lag.
