California's coastal prairies are the most species-rich grassland types in North America, with up to 26 species present per square meter. [1] They have been described in literature as "previously unrecognized biodiversity hotspots," and are also known to provide an array of essential services—for instance, carbon storage, water filtration, agriculture, and livestock farming.

The Canadian Prairies (usually referred to as simply the Prairies in Canada) is a region in Western Canada. It includes the Canadian portion of the Great Plains and the Prairie provinces, namely Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. [2] These provinces are partially covered by grasslands, plains, and lowlands, mostly in the southern regions.
These old-growth forests contain millions of post oak from 200 to 400 years old and red cedar over 500 years old. [5] The prairie portions are chiefly tallgrass on finer, dry soils. [2] Overall, the Cross Timbers are not as arable as the surrounding ecoregions. [3] Today, land use is a mixture of rangeland, pastures, and farmland. [2]
The tallgrass prairie ecosystem covered some 170 million acres (690,000 km 2) of North America. Besides agriculture, much of the shortgrass prairie became grazing land for domestic livestock . Short grasslands occur in semi-arid climates while tall grasslands are in areas of higher rainfall.
Due to the highly variable climatic regimes across the Great Plains, many aspects of climate change are not expected to affect all areas of the eco-region equally. In regards to precipitation, this means an exacerbation of extremes where dry areas in the south are expected to get drier and wetter areas in the north to get wetter.
