Great Plains is a region of North America's Rocky Mountains stretches Texas and North is up in the chain of the Appalachian mountains, South to the Canada. The area is especially farming of 25 percent of the grain of the planet and is densely populated a farms of less productive in the world. The area has an average precipitation varies with the eastern part is the wettest. This variation in humidity produced three different types of grasslands from West to East: short grass, mixed and high grass. Short grass prairie grass PrairieThe is also known as a "steppe" is rooted in light soil characterized by a single layer of flat clusters of grass roots and grow up to 18 inches in height. This type of Prairie is a good reason for cattle pastures, and many types of wild animals including elk, wild horses and bison exist here. Overgrazing, certain areas which were U.S. short Prairie leads the invasion of exotic plants, but the most recent country management techniques in the restoration of the natural state of the Prairie ahead. Short grassland runs just east of the Rocky Mountains from the South of the Canadian border, Mexico.Mixed PrairieThe grass mixed grass prairie consists of two layers of grass. Shorter grass grows to approximately 12 inches in height, but the long grass grow to up to 48 inches. The bottom is a dark brown and grasses, rooted grow at a depth of up to five meters in clusters, while the grass can be a little more free form. The mixed grass prairie is running in the East of the grass, the Canadian border to the highest grass grass PrairieThe Texas.Tall High Prairie grass up to six feet in the summer, with the causes that nine feet can grow. ErRBEs entanglement and formation of grass are found, and named the region grass is for Big bluestem - highest grass on thePrairie. All grass die in the winter and mix as you decompose, with soil to provide nutrients for the growth of new next spring. This part of the Plains were at the end of the century considered a risk of fire and plowed to prevent forest fires. Parties who were not plowed returned oak-Hickory forests and prescribed with today. Tallgrass Prairie extends over southern Canada South Texas and sections of the northern region is at the Southwest tip of the majority the Lake Michigan.Land FormationsThe, is as flat as the name implies, but there are a variety of landscape features in localized areas. Black Hills of South Dakota and Wichita mountains Oklahoma are popular destinations for the lovers of the mountain is hiking and Cheyenne bottoms of Kansas habitat.WildlifeThe Great Plains dominate an important wetlands nationally the Interior landscape of the United States and provide a Habitat for a wide variety of plants and animals, including a number of threatened species selection. Only three of the Great Plains are American bison, the Whooping crane crane, pallid sturgeon, are protected by the United States Federal Government.
