Widely distributed across its sandy habitats, the plant adds to the reserve's distinctive natural landscape.

According to Saudi Press Agency, the Cyperus macrorrhizus is a perennial herbaceous plant that grows in sandy habitats and has been recorded across most areas of the reserve. It remains a focus of the King Salman bin Abdulaziz Royal Reserve Development Authority's ongoing efforts to protect vegetation cover and conserve wildlife.
