What type of grass is grown in the arctic?

In the Arctic, the primary types of grass that grow are perennial grasses, such as cotton grass (Eriophorum spp.) and fescue grasses (Festuca spp.). These grasses are well adapted to the harsh conditions, including cold temperatures and short growing seasons. They play a crucial role in the tundra ecosystem, providing habitat and food for various wildlife species. The grasses contribute to soil stability and help prevent erosion in this fragile environment.
