What is the most widespread natural vegetation in arid America where annual precipitation in less than 50 centimeters?
Grassland if less than 50, forest if more than 50.
How might a grassland change if very little precipition falls on the area for several years?
It could start to go into more of a desert than a grassland. Not much will grow there if there is very little precipitation for several years.
What two factors are more important to grasslands?
Two factors that are more important to grasslands are temperature and precipitation. These factors determine the type and amount of plant life that can grow in a grassland ecosystem.
What is the difference between a tropical rain forest and a grassland?
the difference between a tropical rainforest and a tropical dry forest is that a tropical dry forest is only sand like desert but has all animals and a rainforest is always raining and has many plants.
Why can a grassland ecosystem support more herbivores than forest ecosystem?
Because there is more vegetation and more forage biomass per acre or hectare in a grassland than what a forest can offer. Most of the forest's vegetation is 20 to 100 feet above the ground, which is impossible for most herbivores to reach. Plus, trees take a lot of nutrients from the ground and keep the sunlight from hitting the forest floor, "robbing" other plants to sustain themselves like grasses do in a grassland biome.

What is the difference between woodland from shrubland?

114degreesClarification:There is no such thing as a savanna desert. A savanna is a transition zone between a desert and another biome, such as a grassland or forest. It is arid but receives more precipitation than a desert.
Why would a forest support more species of birds than a grassland?
Vertical habitat and diversity.

What biome has more biological species than anywhere else in the world?
it will be either a temperate deciduous forest, grassland, tropical rain forest, or a temperate rain forest.
How are forests and grasslands different?
A forest is mainly trees, and a grassland is mainly grasses.
What type of precipitation in temperate rain forest?
more than you could think the answer is tundra
Why would a grassland ecosystem have more primary consumers than a rain forest ecosystem?
Because primary consumers find it easier to eat grass, In grassland there is much more grass than in a rainforest

It could start to go into more of a desert than a grassland. Not much will grow there if there is very little precipitation for several years.
How many biomes are there?
I know of 6 biomes but there is much more trust me I know: dessert grassland tundra taiga tropical rain forest deciduous ( des-id-uass) forest
