This results in substantial changes to savanna fire regimes.

It can dramatically increase local fuel loads from the 2 4 tonnes ha typical for native grasses to 11 15 tonnes ha or sometimes even 30 tonnes ha for Gamba Grass resulting in later; more intense fires that can kill or reduce the vigour of tree species (Rossiter et al. 2003 Ferdinands et al. 2006 TSSC undated).

Their small size and sensitivety to fire and or altered fire regimes; increases the risks posed by invasive species like Gamba Grass.
