Tallgrass Prairie is a type of grassland ecosystem characterized by tall grasses and few trees. It primarily exists in the central United States, particularly in states like Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. This ecosystem supports a diverse range of wildlife, including birds, insects, and mammals, and plays a crucial role in soil health and carbon storage. Historically, Tallgrass Prairie covered millions of acres, but much of it has been converted to agriculture. Conservation efforts aim to protect and restore this unique habitat, which is home to species such as the plains bison and various native plants.
