In English, it specifically references the terrain of the Mississippi basin.
In French it's a more general term. English borrowed the term specifically because the French had claimed the area occasionally known as the American Prairie as their territory.
Thanks for the clarification, I see I've once again accidentally revealed my frenchness...
No, native refers to flora or fauna that was not introduced by humans.
And you think that changes the meme or my statement, how?
It doesn't change the meme, but it is a clarification on your statement.
Native veg is not specific to the Mississippi basin. There are native spp. In Alaska for instance.
On top of that, native spp. Are usually specific to one or a small number of ecosystems that support spp's niche
I think they're talking about the word prarie, my guy.
