The Flint Hills Region of the Great Plains Is Dominated

question 24

Essay

The Flint Hills region of the Great Plains is dominated by tallgrass prairie.Large tracts of the prairie remain because the soil was too thin and rocky to be especially good for crop production.In the past two decades,areas of tallgrass prairie have been protected in reserves because of the loss of this grassland system over time-in large part a result of domestic animal production and some crop agriculture.At the eastern border of the region,deciduous forests have been gradually moving west,replacing tallgrass prairie.What do you think is leading to this pattern of change?
