"In the short-grass country of south-western Saskatchewan and south-eastern Alberta, a natural grassland ecological system still functions, little affected by human activity. The four facts of life on the grasslands are scarce moisture, abundant sunshine, constant winds and lack of shelter. The result is a rather severe environment for living organisms, especially in winter, when all plants and most animals survive by dormancy or out-migration."
