In this video, we get hands on experience with fire as a prairie restoration tool.

Floodplains can be pretty rough places for plant life. Despite readily a available water supply, the unpredictable, disturbance-prone nature of these habitats means that static lifeforms such as plants need to be quite adaptable to survive and persist. Join In Defense of Plants for a brief look at this sort of ecosystem.
