Missouri Coteau in Saskatchewan. The Missouri Coteau is a distinctive landscape feature on the Northern Great Plains, and many conservation activities are focused on this area because of high biodiversity. This photo of the Northern Mixed Prairie was taken in the Moist Mixed Grassland Ecoregion in south-central Saskatchewan. Soils are predominately loamy texture and depending on landscape position, plant communities are dominated by northern wheatgrass (Agropyron dasystachyum), western porcupine grass (Stipa curtiseta), or plains rough fescue (Festuca hallii). —Photo by James Romo
