The tallgrass prairie is an ecosystem native to central North America. Historically, natural and anthropogenic fire, as well as grazing by large mammals (primarily bison) provided periodic disturbances to these ecosystems, limiting the encroachment of trees, recycling soil nutrients, and facilitating seed dispersal and germination. Prior to widespread use of the steel plow, which enabled large scale conversion to agricultural land use, tallgrass prairies extended throughout the American Midwest and smaller portions of southern central Canada, from the transitional ecotones out of eastern North American forests, west to a climatic threshold based on precipitation and soils, to the southern reaches of the Flint Hills in Oklahoma, to a transition into forest in Manitoba.

  • La pradera de hierba alta en inglés : tallgrass prairie es un ecosistema nativo del de Norteamérica, donde el fuego es el accidente periódico primario. En el pasado, las praderas de hierba alta cubrían una gran parte del Medio Oeste de Estados Unidos, justo al este de las Grandes Llanuras, y porciones de las praderas canadienses. Se encuentran típicamente en los biomas "praderas de transición a los bosques centrales", "pradera central de hierba alta" y la "transición de la sabana a los bosques norteños del medio oeste". (es)
  • La prairie d'herbes hautes est un écosystème indigène de la région centrale de l'Amérique du Nord. Les incendies, qu'ils soient d'origine naturelle ou anthropique, ainsi que le pâturage par les grands mammifères (principalement les bisons) sont les facteurs historiques de perturbation périodique, qui régulent l'empiètement par les arbres, recyclent les éléments nutritifs dans le sol et catalysent certains processus de dispersion et de germination des graines. Avant la généralisation de l'usage de la charrue en acier, qui a permis leur conversion en terres agricoles, les prairies d'herbes hautes s'étendaient dans tout le Midwest américain et de plus petites parties du centre-sud du Canada. Cette région est délimitée à l'est par les écotones de transition des forêts de l'est de l'Amérique du (fr)
