prairie soil
Fertile plains dirt
Prairie soil is the dark, fertile earth characteristic of grassland regions, formed over thousands of years from decomposed prairie grasses and their deep root systems.
Rich in organic matter and nutrients, it ranks among the most productive agricultural soils in the world.
The American Midwest's "breadbasket" reputation rests largely on its prairie soils.
