What are the 7 types of prairies in Illinois?
In Illinois, the seven types of prairies include tallgrass prairies, wet prairies, dry prairies, mesic prairies, sand prairies, limestone prairies, and shortgrass prairies. Tallgrass prairies are characterized by rich soils and diverse plant life, while wet prairies are found in low-lying areas with saturated soils. Dry prairies thrive in well-drained, sandy soils, and mesic prairies exist in intermediate moisture conditions. Sand prairies are specifically located in sandy areas, limestone prairies are associated with calcareous soils, and shortgrass prairies have shorter vegetation and are less common in the state.

Why are fires important to prairies but not important to dunes?
Fires are important to prairies because they help maintain the ecosystem by controlling invasive species, promoting nutrient cycling, and stimulating the growth of native grasses and forbs. The periodic burning encourages biodiversity and helps prevent tree encroachment. In contrast, dunes are typically shaped by wind and water processes, and fire can disrupt the delicate balance of their ecosystems, which often rely on specific plant adaptations to survive in harsh conditions. Thus, while fire plays a crucial role in prairies, it is generally detrimental to dune ecosystems.
