Most of the Great Plains, including
the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, and much of Missouri and
Minnesota, is considered prairie. Almost all of this area has been changed
into farmland in the last two hundred years.
In Canada, the western provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, have a lot of prairies where there are many grasslands and shrubs. Prairies usually have temperate climates, moderate rainfall, and grasses, herbs, and shrubs, rather than trees. |
