I"m talking about plants

It's very flat. When the wind blows there is no place for seedlings to stop and grow, no shelter. The prairies were a grass monoculture - nothing else could take root unless it was in the coolies (small valleys). Also, the buffalo contributed to this by grazing over many thousands of years. It is also nearly a desert, it's very dry, so plants needing very much water can't survive.

If you go back into geological history, you will find that until a mere 20,000 years ago, the Canadian prairies used to be covered with lush forests.
However, the glaciers that arrived here during the so-called Ice Age denuded the area of this vegetation. Being flat the prairies were terribly susceptible to bush fires over the intervening 11,000 years or so, and large forests never grew up -- not least in the southern part of the prairies. If you go north of a line through Prince Albert andEdmonton, you will find that the Prairie provinces are actually thickly forested with plenty of lakes and rivers

???? What are you talking about? The prairies is agriculture. I think agriculture depends on vegetation. Mostly in the grain area.
