what is the difference between a steppe and a prairie
A steppe is a plain with no trees (except perhaps around waterbodies). It is similar to a prairie. The difference is that prairies tend to have long grass species whilst steppes often have short grass species. However, prairies are also considered one type of steppe. So the differences are not absolute!
A prairie, which is a kind of plain, is a specific kind of biome with unique weather pattern. the difference between a prairie anâ¦d a plain is that a prairie is a big land that has flowers and plants and can hold livestock and the plain is a big land of weeds and can not hold plants.
