Prairie Grass

Prairie grass refers to the types of grasses that grow naturally in prairies, which are vast, flat or gently rolling grasslands found mainly in North America. These grasses are hardy, drought-resistant, and well-adapted to the climate, soil, and fire cycles of the prairie ecosystem. They play a vital role in supporting local wildlife, preventing erosion, and maintaining soil health. Prairie grasses include species like bluestem, Indian grass, and switchgrass. They are important both ecologically and economically, often used in restoration projects, biodiverse habitats, and sustainable biomass production.
