    List
    of warm, wet summers followed by cold, dry winters with heavy frosts.
    Vegetation is dominated by grass species with many bulbous plants.
    Shrubs and trees are restricted by fire and frost to protected kloofs and rocky areas The topography is characterised by rolling hills and valleys.
    They are generally found at either high altitudes or high latitudes.They are often characterised by the presence of many wetlands.

    Animal adaptations
    Some animals, such as bison, have broad, flat-topped teeth and digestive systems especially adapted to feed on grasses.
    Many prairie animals have front legs and paws that allow them to burrow into the ground, where they are protected from predators.
    Many prairie animals are adapted for nocturnal life; that is, they are active at night, which helps conceal their presence from predators.

    Shrubs and trees are restricted by fire and frost to protected kloofs and rocky areas The topography is characterised by rolling hills and valleys.
    They are generally found at either high altitudes or high latitudes.They are often characterised by the presence of many wetlands.
    Plant adaptations
    During a fire, while above-ground portions of grasses may perish, the root portions survive to sprout again
    Some prairie trees have thick bark to resist fire
    ...
    Prairie grasses have narrow leaves which lose less water than broad leaves
    Grasses grow from near their base, not from tip, thus are not permanently damaged from grazing animals or fire
    Many grasses take advantage of exposed, windy conditions and are wind pollinated
    Soft stems enable prairie grasses to bend in the wind
