Definition of pampa plural pampas play \ Ëpam-pÉz,-pÉs, ËpÃ¤m-\ : an extensive generally grass-covered plain of temperate South America east of the Andes : prairie
Trees are rare in the Pampas, and frequent wildfires allow only various kinds of grasses to flourish. These are mostly prairie and steppe type grasses. âPampas grassâ is the distinct species of the region. These grasses grow in various strata because water is available in gradients. The soil is comprised chiefly of clay, fine sand and silt washed towards the Atlantic by the great rivers; they are also blown to the region by dust storms from the west.
