Frequent fires ensure that only small plants such as [[Poaceae|grasses]] flourish; [[tree]]s are rare. The dominant [[vegetation]] types are grassy [[prairie]] and grass [[steppe]] in which numerous species of the grass genus ''[[Stipa]]'' are particularly conspicuous. "Pampas Grass" (''[[Cortaderia selloana]]'') is an iconic species of the Pampas. Vegetation typically includes perennial grasses and [[herb]]s. Different strata of grasses occur because of gradients of [[water]] availability.
The [[World Wildlife Fund]] divides the Pampa into three distinct [[terrestrial ecoregion|ecoregions]]. The [[Uruguayan savanna]] lies east of the [[Uruguay River]], and includes all of Uruguay and the southern portion of Brazil's state of Rio Grande do Sul. The [[Humid Pampas]] include eastern Buenos Aires Province, and southern Entre Rios Province. The [[Semi-arid Pampas]] includes western Buenos Aires Province and adjacent portions of Santa Fe, Cordoba, and La Pampa provinces. The Pampas are bounded by the drier [[Argentine espinal]] grasslands, which form a semi-circle around the north, east, and south of the Humid Pampas.
Winters are cool to mild and summers are very warm and humid. Rainfall is fairly uniform throughout the year but is a little heavier during the summer. Annual rainfall is heaviest near the coast and decreases gradually further inland. Rain during the late spring and summer usually arrives in the form of brief heavy showers and thunderstorms. More general rainfall occurs the remainder of the year as [[cold front]]s and storm systems move through. Although cold spells during the winter often send nighttime temperatures below freezing, [[snow]] is quite rare. In most winters, a few light snowfalls occur over inland areas.
Central Argentina boasts a successful agricultural business, with crops grown on the Pampas south and west of [[Buenos Aires]]. Much of the area is also used for grazing [[cattle]] and more recently to grow vineyards in the [[Buenos Aires wines|Buenos Aires wine region]]. These farming regions (i.e., modified of disturbed Pampas) are particularly susceptible to [[flooding]] during heavy rainfall.
