★Short Grass Prairies★

The short grass prairies found in the 15-25 inch annual precipitation zone are dominated by blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis) and buffalograss (Buchloe dactyloides). This semiarid climate zone extends from central Nebraska westward to the Rockies, and from Texas to Saskatchewan.

The major tall-grass prairies of the Midwest and Great Plains were quite overwhelming to early settlers. Tall-grass prairies have been described as oceans, and some found them too vast to cross. After the American Revolution, settlers and pioneers waited almost 40 years (1840-1880) before settling 700 million acres of bountiful prairies.

Without large numbers of domesticated animals and plows the tall-grasses seem too massive to control. Pioneers felt more comfortable with trees and felt land that grew only grass was inferior. They mistakenly reasoned that if there wasn't enough rain for trees, then there wouldn't be enough rain for crops. They avoided the "Great American Desert." Some historians felt that the Native Americans of the prairies were more feared than Native Americans of the woodlands and this feeling contributed to the slow acquisition of the prairies.

Other practical factors entered into the matter: few navigable rivers, the different prairie soil did not respond to the plows available, few railroads extended into the prairie, settlers often did not own enough horses and mules, and few available trees for building homes, fences, tools and fuel. So, much of the tall-grass prairies was given away. But with a poor understanding of the growth habits of prairie grasses, and the inability to predict the response of these grasses to overgrazing, immense areas of the medium and tall grass prairie regions were seriously degraded within 50 years. Medium grass prairies often reverted to short-grass prairies because the latter grasses were more tolerant to intensive defoliation.
