The shortgrass prairie is an ecosystem located in the Great Plains of North America. The two most dominant grasses in the shortgrass prairie are blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis) and buffalograss (Bouteloua dactyloides), the two less dominant grasses in the prairie are greasegrass (Tridens flavus) and sideoats grama (Bouteloua curtipendula). The prairie was formerly maintained by grazing pressure of American bison, which is the keystone species. Due to its semiarid climate, the shortgrass prairie receives on average less precipitation than that of the tall and mixed grass prairies to the east.

  • La prairie d'herbes courtes est un écosystème situé dans les Grandes Plaines d'Amérique du Nord.La prairie englobe tous les territoires qui s'étendent vers l'ouest jusqu'au piémont des Montagnes Rocheuses, vers l'est jusqu'au Nebraska et vers le nord jusqu'au Saskatchewan. La prairie s'étend en partie dans l'Alberta, le Wyoming, le Montana, le Dakota du Nord, le Dakota du Sud et le Kansas, et traverse au sud les du Colorado, de l'Oklahoma, du Texas et du Nouveau-Mexique. La prairie était autrefois maintenue par la pression de pâturage exercée par le bison américain, qui est l'espèce clé. Les deux graminées les plus dominantes dans la prairie d'herbes courtes sont le Bouteloua gracilis (boutelou gracieux) et le Bouteloua dactyloides (herbe aux bisons), et les deux graminées moins dominantes (trident jaune) et (pied de dindon). En raison du climat semi-aride, la prairie d'herbes courtes reçoit en moyenne moins de précipitations que celle des prairies d'herbes hautes et mixtes plus à l'est. (fr)

The prairie includes lands to the west as far as the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains and extends east as far as Nebraska and north into Saskatchewan. The prairie stretches through parts of Alberta, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Kansas, and passes south through the high plains of Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico. (en)
