Grasses in Motion
This video was taken on 9/20/2020 at Ridge Hill Reservation in Needham, MA. This video depicts grasses blowing in the breeze. Grasses are the largest group of plants on the planet and they provide a multitude of ecological functions that connect with the United Nations Sustainability Development Goal 15: Life on Land. Grasses prevent soil erosion and, as a result, desertification. Without grasses and their roots, wind and water would cause soil all across the world to be moved away leading to significantly less usable, fertile soil. Widespread grasses would not proliferate if not for pollination via the wind. Air currents, plant life, and soil all work together to create greater diversity and functionality in many ecosystems while also resisting climate change. This video captures these interactions in play.
