Description

Sunset on a Flint Hills Burn by Lynn Sprowl.
First Place winner of the All Things Kansas group contest.
As the sun was beginning to set, the fires and smoke took on a pinkish hue.
The tallgrass prairie biome depends on prairie fires, a form of wildfire, for its survival and renewal. Tree seedlings and intrusive alien species without fire tolerance are eliminated by periodic fires. Such fires may either be set by humans (for example, Native Americans used fires to drive bison and improve hunting, travel, and visibility) or started naturally by lightning. Researchers' attempts to re-establish small sections of tallgrass prairie in arboretum fashion were unsuccessful until they began to use controlled burns
