Abstract

Tallgrass prairie once blanketed approximately 170 million acres of North America, from Texas up into Canada and from Kentucky west into Kansas. Only about 4 percent of this once vast sea of grass remains, making tallgrass prairie the most altered ecosystem on the continent in terms of acres lost.
