Scenarios about 'prairie ecology'
Prairie ecology refers to the study of relationships between organisms and their environment within grassland ecosystems characterized by deep-rooted perennial grasses, diverse wildflowers, and minimal tree cover. These complex ecosystems evolved through interactions with climate, fire, grazing animals, and soil conditions, creating some of North America's most productive yet threatened landscapes. Understanding prairie ecology is essential for alternate history scenarios exploring different land use patterns, indigenous management practices, or ecological outcomes without European agricultural transformation.
