Habitat
Drooping Brome or Cheat Grass (Bromus tectorum) grows in many climatic areas. It is found primarily in the 150–560 mm precipitation zone. It will grow in almost any type of soil, including B and C horizons of eroded areas and areas low in nitrogen. It is most often found on coarse-textured soils and does not grow well on heavy, dry, and/or saline soils. It grows in a relatively narrow range of soil temperatures; growth starts at 2.0-3.5°C and slows when temperatures exceed 15°C.
