As the stems spread out shoots grow up and produce leaves. The deep spreading root systems often mat together thickly making sure that even in droughts the plants are able to get water. The most common type of vegetation in grasslands is the Big Bluestem Grass, and is also known as the Turkey Feet or the Beard Grass. It is known as the Turkey Feet because it looks like a foot of a turkey. It is known as the Beard Grass because they can grow as big as approxamately three to ten feet tall. Other types of vegetation that there are in grasslands are the Prairie Clovers, Salvia, Wheat, Barely, and Coneflowers, although these are not as common as the Big Bluestem Grass. There are several different types of soils that are in grasslands. There are Black Soils and Clay Soils. These are just two types of soils from grasslands that are from different parts of the world. Black Soils contain large quantities of nutrients and also has a excellent water holding capacity. Clay Soils has a tendency to crack and break apart, but also has abilities to retain water. It also releases water during dry climates, which helps the plants and grasses that need it.
