What was the carbon cycle on the prairie like?

Prairie plants are especially adept at storing carbon, locking up large amounts in their roots. In fact, prairies store more carbon below ground than a forest stores above! Deep, complex prairie root systems sequester (store) carbon and – with the help of microorganisms – move it to the soil where it stabilizes.

I’m not sure what your trying to say here.. can you clarify again?

It conforms what ever surface its in.
