The Bies Wheat Grass

Bies Wheatgrass (Elytrigia juncea subsp. Boreoatlantica) is a species of the grass family (Gramineae ie Poaceae). Bies is closely related to Wheat Grass Grow (Elytrigia repens) and Beach Culture (Elytrigia atherica). The plant is salt tolerant and salt needy, and grows only under conditions where the soil moisture has a salinity of 2%, and is therefore only to be found on beaches.

In the Netherlands, Bies Wheatgrass virtually limited to North Beach, where the species is common, but it is also locally found along the banks of the Wadden Sea, and in Zeeland. Bies was formerly Wheatgrass also locally found along the banks of the Zuiderzee. Bies Wheatgrass is one of the few plants at home in the North Sea beach.

The plant is capable of rushing to hold sand and is responsible for the first step towards the formation of dunes on the beach. Bies Wheat Grass grows well in low sand dunes that are regularly inundated by seawater. Once the collected sand dune becomes excessive settle other grasses, such as Helm (Ammophila arenaria) and Sand Oats (Leymus arenarius) and Bies Wheatgrass die off. On sandbars, as in Vlieland Richel and Engelsmanplaat between Ameland and Schiermonnikoog Bies Wheatgrass is often the only plant species.

The plant is 30-60 cm high. The leaf sheaths have no ears and lower leaf sheaths are usually part of a shiny red-brown. Bies Wheat Grass blooms from June to August with a spike inflorescence. The spikelets are 1.5 to 3 cm long and the lower, vijfnervige husk (lemma) of the lower flower is round and has a short, hard topspitsje. The blunt kelkkafjes are nipping 7 to 11. The fruit is a fruit crop.
