- W2558724625 abstract "North American Prairie Grassland These grasslands can be roughly divided into tall grass prairie in the east, short grass prairie in the west and mixed grass prairie between the two. This reflects increasing aridity from east to west. For thousands and possibly millions of years, fire has been an important natural factor. Consequently many of the plant species are adapted to tolerate fire. In fact, tall grass prairie tends to be replaced by forest when protected from fire. Also prior to man’s intervention, prairie provided grazing for literally millions of buffalo and other grazing animals. Tall-grass prairie is largely composed of bunchgrass and sod forming grasses. The dominant species are Andropogon gerardii, Panicum virgatum, Schizachyrium scoparium and Sorghastrium nutans. Before man’s interference tall-grass prairie formed a dense cover commonly reaching heights of up to 3 m, but most of the canopy today is less than 1 m. In short-grass prairie Bouteloua gracilis and Buchloe dactyloides are the dominant sod forming species, while other important grasses are Agropyron smithii, Hilaria jamesii, Koeleria cristata, Muhlenbergia torreyi, Sporobolus crytandus and Stipa comata. These short-grass prairies are thought to be more of a true climax community than tallgrass prairies, and many of the species are draught resistant. The dryness of this habitat was shown in the 1930s when the so-called ‘dust bowls’ were created as a result of trying to plow short-grass prairie. Mixed-grass prairie is a blend of tall and short grass prairie species, and in fact, represents a large ecotone between this two prairie types. Typical dominants are species of Agropyron, Bouteloua, Colamovilfa, Schizachrium, Sporobolus and Stipa." @default.
