Description: Introduces the concept of an ecosystem and uses close-up photography and animated diagrams to examine the prairie ecosystem. Highlights the interrelationships of such plants and animals as prairie dogs, buffalo, and native grasses., We see the complete grasslands succession-cycle in this overview of the American prairie. Grassland plants, animals, and weather are examined in detail. Maps and other graphics supplement location photography, to show how grassland ecology is changing in the face of encroaching civilization. Excellent wildlife sequences--filmed on location in collaboration with noted ecologists--are highlighted by outstanding footage of prairie dogs and American bison.
