The original soil of the grasslands was soft and absorbed rain readily, but heavy continuous stock grazing drove a degradation sequence that shifted the botanical composition of native grasslands from an ecosystem regulated by large, perennial tussock grasses such as Themeda triandra ( Kangaroo Grass ) to one containing abundant disturbance tolerant native grasses such as Rytidosperma spp.

The native vegetation of Mount Napier State Park, on the western side of the mountain, varies from grassy woodland to tall open forest dominated by Manna Gum " Eucalyptus viminalis ", Blackwood " Acacia melanoxylon ", Austral Bracken " Pteridium esculentum " and Common Tussock Grass " Poa labillardieri ".

The Kerguelen Islands are in the Southern Indian Ocean Islands tundra ecoregion which is characterised by tussock grasses, lichens and liverworts . " A . magellanica " is one of the few low forbs that grew here, but the introduction of the European rabbit ( " Oryctolagus cuniculus " ), which selectively grazes the species it prefers, eliminated many of the native forbs.
