Characteristics of Prairie Plants
• Leaves of prairie plants tend to be long and narrow to prevent overheating
• Many prairie plants are adapted for a dry, windy, hot climate.
• Prairies need fire. Plants also have buds at or below the soil surface and a lot of root mass below ground--an adaptation to the natural fires.
• Without it, invading trees and shrubs gradually turn grasslands into woodlands.
• Prairie soil is rich soil.
