Prairie Ecosystem

A prairie ecosystem is a type of landscape dominated by grasses and flowering plants, found mainly in regions with moderate rainfall, such as parts of North America. It provides habitat for a variety of animals like birds, insects, and small mammals, and supports diverse plant life adapted to withstand drought and wind. Prairies play a vital role in maintaining soil health, preventing erosion, and filtering water. They are essential for biodiversity, agriculture, and carbon storage, functioning as a natural balance of grasses, plants, animals, and microorganisms working together in a dynamic environment.
