Kansas is home to three primary types of grasslands: tallgrass prairie, mixed-grass prairie, and shortgrass prairie. The tallgrass prairie, found in the eastern part of the state, features deep-rooted grasses like big bluestem and Indian grass. The mixed-grass prairie, located in central Kansas, includes a combination of tall and short grasses. In the western region, the shortgrass prairie is characterized by grasses such as blue grama and buffalograss, adapted to drier conditions.
