Mountain Brome is a native perennial bunchgrass that thrives in high-elevation environments, such as mountain meadows and forests. It provides moderate forage value for livestock, particularly for grazing animals like cattle and sheep. Mountain Brome is well-adapted to cold temperatures and can withstand harsh winter conditions. It plays a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity in high-elevation ecosystems, providing valuable cover and food for a range of wildlife species, including elk, deer, and various birds.
