Desribe flora ad fauna of prairies for class 7th
Answers
Flora
Prairies are practically treeless. Based on availability of water, the plants found in the area, differ.
Trees such as willows, alders, and poplars grow in areas where you get water.
Where rainfall is above 50 cm, farming is practiced as the soil is fertile. The main crop here is maize. The other crops that are grown in this area include potatoes, soybean, alfa-alfa, and cotton.
Areas, where rainfall is very little or unreliable, short and sparse grasses, are found. These areas are suitable for cattle rearing. Large cattle farms are called ranches. These are looked after by sturdy men called cowboys.
Fauna
The American Buffalo or the bison is the main animal in the Prairies. However, it has nearly got extinct due to indiscriminate hunting. Other animals found in this region are rabbits, Prairie dogs, coyotes, and gophers.
