Prairie - Grasslands

The grasslands are divided into two categories, called savanna and prairie depending on their locations, either north or south of the equator. The savanna and prairie have very different vegetation, animals, and climate. Today we will be talking about the prairie grasslands that are located north of the equator. Describe the geography, climate, vegetation, and animals of the prairie.





Virtual Field Trip:
Lewis and Clark Then and Now: Plants and the Expedition II--The Grasslands Prairie


Contents of the Broadcast:

  1. Opening to 3:46—Introduction, welcome, orientation to today's topic, and introduction of our guest Malinda Slagle, Restoration Ecologist with the Missouri Botanical Garden’s Prairie Restoration Project.
  2. 3:46 to 12:50—The first topic explored answers the question “What is a prairie?” Subjects include types and locations of grasslands around the world, differences between tall, medium, and short grass prairies, and rainfall impacts on the prairie. Images include slides of grassland locations and video of tall, medium, and short grass prairie. Student questions and comments on these topics are weaved throughout the segment.
  3. 12:50 to 19:42—Next, we investigate the prairie more by looking at plants of the prairie. Images of numerous plants are provided including big blue stem, blue grama grass, Indian grass, fleabane daisies, goldenrod, white indigo, lead plant, and sunflower. Student questions and comments are included.
  4. 19:42 to 23:42—In our next segment we look at animals of the prairie both now and during the time of the expedition. Numerous images are included. Examples include the badger, bald eagle, bobcat, bison, red wolf, gray wolf, coyote, deer, prairie chicken, pronghorn antelope, prairie dog, and pheasant. Student questions and comments are also included.
  5. 23:42 to 28:07—Next, we take a look at the prairie underground. Images include a cross section of the prairie showing plant growth above the ground and root length below the ground. Topics include the impact of rainfall, the importance of the root system to the plant, and why one finds so few trees on the prairie. Student questions and comments are included.
  6. 28:07 to 43:25—Now it’s on to how the prairie maintains itself. We look at the impact of insects and pollination, the wind, predators, and other animals on maintaining the life of the prairie. Student questions and comments are included as is video of bisons on the prairie, insects pollinating prairie plants, and wind sweeping across the South Dakota prairie.
  7. 43:25 to 52:18—Malinda shares the importance of fire to maintaining the prairie, both naturally and in controlled burns. Video footage is included of a controlled burn on the Missouri Botanical Garden’s restored prairie. Student comments and questions are included as well.
  8. 38:38 to End—In our final segment, we discuss why the prairie ecosystem matters. What are its impacts on nature, humans, and biodiversity. Student comments and questions are included. We end with thanks and goodbye

ms.Chambers we already did the savannas so I'm going to do the prairie. It is grass land with some trees and some bushes. the climate is windy and sunny during the winter and cold during th summer.there are many plants and animals to relie on.

George Waw said...

The grassland is a prairie that has prairie dogs and many other animals. it mostly has grass, you can tell because of the name. There are a lot of smaller animals there like squirrels and moles. Prairie dogs are found a lot in holes and they live in pairs but sometimes groups. over there it sometimes droughts.

Jacklyn Baltazar said...

The parie grasslands have of course grass, trees, and bushes.The climate is a little hot and maybe windy.It is a little cloudy to.The animals are pariedogs, a certain kinds of birds,and other animals.

The prairie is located north of the equator. It is found only in the U.S.A. It has lots of grass, trees, hills, and rich fertile soil. It is usually wind warm temperature. The vegetation there is mostly grass. Prairie dogs, badgers, bees, coyotes, and many more animals live there.

AIR said...

Prairies are very flat but hilly and you can usually see very far when you are on a prairie because there are no obstructions blocking your view. The climate is mild and has a normal rain fall percentage. Usually in prairies there is only tall green grass where animals such as prairie dogs and gophers live.

Melissa said...

Grasslands are temperate places above the equator. Geography in prairie grasslands are, plains, farmlands, crops, hills, and low mountains. Climate in the prairie grasslands is mild, and half and half. It is either mildly hot or mildly cold. Vegetation consist of grass, tall grass, trees, oaks, maples, and, balsas. Animals in the prairie are animals like, deers, squirrels, chipmunks, prairie dogs, mole, and a few types of insects. This is what a prairie grassland is like.

Juan said...

In the prairie there is allot more vegetation in the prairie then in the savanna because in the prairie it is not as hot as the savanna. In the prairie you wont find the animals you will find in the savanna. The animals you would find in the prairie are rabbit, ground squirrels, fox and different types of birds like a wood pecker. The climate in the prairie is that it gets cold in the winter and it get at least up too 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. The vegetation that you would find in the prairie are allot of trees like pine trees and oak trees and you would find allot of fruit like berries and allot of grass for small animals to hide in the grass from predators.

Grassland are divide in two categories. One categorie is the Savanna. Another categorie is the Prairie. Praries are usually found above the Equator by North America. Climate in the Prairie grasslands is mild, and half and half. It is either mildly hot or mildly cold. Some Animals in the Prairie are animals like, deers, squirrels, chipmunks, prairie dogs, mole, and a few types of insects. Teh vegetation there is the grass, and the big trees. The Savanna and the Prairie are both different. In the Savanna you can find animals that you can not find in the Prairie. They both have different climate. That is because Savannas are found below the Equator and Prairie are found above the Equator.

munik said...

A prairies is a flat, gently sloping, or hilly land covered chiefly by tall grasses and not many trees. Pioneers who first saw the flat prairies of the American Middle West called them a 'sea of grass.'In the prairies there many types of animal that in habit in prairies such as the American bald eagle, badger, bobcat, bumble bee, coyote, prairie dog, and the swift cat.

Trevor Smalley said...

Over one quarter of the Earth's surface is covered by grasslands. Grasslands are found on every continent except Antarctica, and they make up most of Africa and Asia. There are several types of grassland and each one has its own name. Prairies, plains and savannas are all grasslands. Grasslands develop where there isn't enough rain for forests but too much rain for deserts. Grasslands are filled with grass... There are many types of grass, though. Fields of wheat are considered grasslands, even though they are often cultivated by people. Grass is special because it grows underneath the ground. During cold periods the grass can stay dormant until it warms up.

marco said...

julia m. said...

Prairie are north of the equator. Since we already did the savanna and I think that the prairie's geography is very filled with grass and i think it probably have any hills hidden in the grass but in other words it is mostly all plain and filed with grass. The climate in the prairie is is pretty cool, and some times can be very hot and very mild. The vegetation of the prairie is just a lot of grass and a lot of trees and plants. The animals that live in or around the prairie's are coyotes, birds, and even sometimes dogs.

The geography of the prarie is pretty flat and hills that aren't too high... a lot like a plain and a savanna. The climat eof the prarie is moderate, you know, temperate all year. The vegetation of a prarie is wheats, barely any trees, many grasses, and sone shrubs. The animals of a prarie is not a lot, some of theese animals are buffalo, moose, prarie dogs, some kinds of birds, and many other animals. that is the regular, basic prarie.
