      Could you please tell me the most common weeds after a storm surge from the list you mentioned (rubbervine, sicklepod, lantana, gamba grass, giant rats tail and olive hymenachne) and what native grass is the most common to reshoot first after these events?

        Hi Krystle,

        Apologies for the late response. We are waiting for a response to your question from out community partners. Your patience is greatly appreciated!

        We have our Stakeholder Insights Event this Thursday the 2nd of April from 2-3:15. It is an opportunity for students to ask questions to our community partners directly. If I cannot get an answer to you before then, I can try my best to include it in the Q&A on Thursday.

        Kind regards,
        Evelyn

          Hi Krystle,

          After storm surges and extreme weather events, olive hymenachne is very likely to reshoot first as it is very resilient against floodwaters and aggressive environments.

          Kind regards,
          Evelyn
