The partly decayed plant matter that enriches prairie soil is called humus. Humus is formed from the decomposition of plant and animal material, and it plays a crucial role in providing nutrients to plants and improving soil structure.
You can stabilize a plant from being blown away by wind by adding a trellis or stakes around the plant for support, using rocks or mulch around the base to provide weight, or planting wind-resistant shrubs or bushes nearby to create a barrier. Additionally, you can trim the plant to reduce its surface area and make it less likely to be affected by strong winds.
A paleobotanist studies ancient plants and plant fossils to understand the evolution, diversity, and ecology of plant life in the past. They use these fossilized remains to reconstruct past environments and ecosystems.
The embryo in a seed is the precursor to the future plant. It contains the genetic material necessary for the development of the plant, including the roots, stems, and leaves. The embryo remains dormant until conditions are suitable for germination and growth.
Gulf Coast Prairie and Marsh is a specific ecoregion located in the southern United States along the Gulf of Mexico. It is characterized by a mix of prairies and wetlands, including salt marshes, freshwater marshes, and coastal prairies. This region is known for its rich biodiversity and provides important habitat for a variety of plant and animal species.
Prairie Plant Systems was created in 1988.

Detritivores feed on dead plant and animal remains.
yes! fungi produce chemicals that digest plant remains.
The bright flowers on any plant are there to attract insects to pollinate the plant and therefore aid reproduction.
The scientific or taxonomic name would be Dalea candida.
A plant that is less likely to grow on a prairie would be a water-loving plant that requires high levels of moisture to thrive, such as water lilies or cattails. These plants prefer wet, marshy habitats rather than the dry and open conditions typically found on a prairie.
Mainly wild plant seeds and berries, and insects.
