  1. 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 shrubs readily resprout after fire

    Roots of prairie grasses extend deep into the ground to absorb as much moisture as they can

    Extensive root systems prevent grazing animals from pulling roots out of the ground

    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
