    The document discusses the ecology of Fremont cottonwood and pampas grass and hypothesizes that the invasive pampas grass could take over the habitat of the native Fremont cottonwood. It notes that Fremont cottonwood requires more water to grow and pampas grass is more adaptable. The hypothesis is supported by findings that pampas grass grows aggressively and may invade Fremont cottonwood's habitat. Further research is needed to fully understand the implications of pampas grass on ecosystems and help preserve native species' habitats.

    The General Ecology of Pampas Grass
    - Formally known as Cortaderia selloana
    - Exotic species that is originally from Southern America
    - Ideal habitat is in a damp environment (near or around a riverbed)
    - Naturally invasive and aggressive
    hypothesis of the species interactions
