For how common grass is, it's weird to think about how it only evolved relatively recently in geologic time scales.

If you think of how each epoch as being like a season, so do the plants and animals that appear within that time. Other plants may have took up the niche of where grasses would've had a place for. Their ancestors may have just been waiting until the correct opportunity to finally takeover. Like a time during later winter or early spring only certain plants would take advantage of the lack of tree foliage blocking the sky. Spring ephemerals, which are plants that only seem to pop up in this short period grow quickly just before trees block the ground with their leaves above the canopy. This "short period" in geological time may have been the time when they appeared.

sea grass are actually unrelated to grasses, they dont belong in the poales order, they are related to arecae(calla lilies, peace lilys) they belong in the alistamales order. also thier distinct flower morphology is more like that of the peace and cally lily family, male and female seperate spatially flowers.

Yes,grass can do a better job sequestering carbon and producing oxygen but let's remind people that these are prairie grasses who's roots reach as deep into into the soil as many tree roots and who grow as tall as a bison's hump. They are usually accompanied by many other plant species as well as all the insects and other wildlife that call it home. They are the foundation of an ecosystem. Those golf course style lawns just give water a handy surface to evaporate from while offering no shelter or nourishment to our fellow creatures. Let lawns become little blooming pollinator refuges with native wildflowers sharing space with native grasses.

I think a lot of those native prairie grasses only grow like that when they're allowed to burn every so many years, clearing out the thatch above and encouraging the roots to grow deeper, maybe I'm wrong but that's how I understand it

6:39 *diverged from the ancestors of chimps... our common ancestor were likely orthograde clamoring apes. Sounds like a nitpick but many people actually don't understand this and, as a bit of a cheerleader of science, I feel it's helpful to be clear about it. Edit: So, basically, we were already standing up (that is, our ancestors were) when the environment shifted from woodlands to grasslands spotted with smaller woodlands, we just weren't as well adapted for running and such. Since we found a niche that relied on efficient fast movement across grasslands and we were already bipedal (the most efficient method of moving across the ground), we adapted to get better at it. I know less about the adaptation of chimps to knucklewalking but there must be some advantage to it in wooded environments. For VASTLY better explanation of everything about hominin evolution and apes in general, check out Gutsick Gibbon. Erika over there is excellent... Animalogic should consider a collaboration with her, that would be awesome!

Many grasses have rhizomes and stolons which make them some of the only plants capable of running away from stressors or toward more favorable habitat. Aggressive tropical grasses like St. Augustine grass have been known to smother bushes and small trees under a mat of stolons. Some grasses are allelopathic, meaning they poison other plants and grasses to make room for themselves. The C4 carbon fixation that grasses like corn, bamboo and miscanthus have is so efficient, that nothing on earth can beat them for biomass in a given area.
