The great bison belt is a tract of rich grassland that ran from Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico from around 9000 BC. The great bison belt was supported by spring and early summer rainfall that allowed short grasses to grow. These grasses retain their moisture at the roots which allowed for grazing ungulates such as bison to find high-quality nutritious food in autumn.

  • Grande Cinturão de Bisões ("Great Bison Belt" (em inglês)), é a designação de uma área de pastagens ricas que se estendia do Alasca ao Golfo do México por volta de 9.000 aC. O Grande Cinturão de Bisões era sustentado pelas chuvas da primavera e do início do verão, que permitiam o crescimento de gramíneas curtas. Essas gramíneas retêm sua umidade nas raízes, o que permitiu que ungulados como bisões encontrassem alimentos nutritivos de alta qualidade no outono. (pt)

  • The great bison belt is a tract of rich grassland that ran from Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico from around 9000 BC. The great bison belt was supported by spring and early summer rainfall that allowed short grasses to grow. These grasses retain their moisture at the roots which allowed for grazing ungulates such as bison to find high-quality nutritious food in autumn. These grasses are what allowed the bison population to thrive, as they were able to receive all of their nutrients from the short grasses, unlike other Ice Age animals which expanded in the postglacial period. This area was important to the Plains Paleo-Indians, who around 8500 BC turned to bison hunting instead of hunting a broader range of food. (en)
  • Grande Cinturão de Bisões ("Great Bison Belt" (em inglês)), é a designação de uma área de pastagens ricas que se estendia do Alasca ao Golfo do México por volta de 9.000 aC. O Grande Cinturão de Bisões era sustentado pelas chuvas da primavera e do início do verão, que permitiam o crescimento de gramíneas curtas. Essas gramíneas retêm sua umidade nas raízes, o que permitiu que ungulados como bisões encontrassem alimentos nutritivos de alta qualidade no outono. Foram essas gramíneas que permitiram que a população de bisões prosperasse, pois eles eram capazes de receber todos os seus nutrientes das gramíneas baixas, ao contrário de outros animais da Idade do Gelo que se expandiram no período pós-glacial. Essa área era importante para os Paleo-indígenas das Planícies, que por volta de 8.500 aC passaram a caçar bisões em vez de caçar uma variedade mais ampla de alimentos. (pt)
