Chapter 52: Problem 7

From which biome are trees excluded by periodic fires and grazing herbivores? a. tropical rain forest b. thorn forest c. chaparral d. temperate grassland e. arctic tundra

Short Answer

Expert verified
The correct answer is d. temperate grassland.

Step by step solution

01

Understand the characteristics of each biome

A tropical rain forest is full with trees and has frequent rain, a thorn forest consists mainly of thorny plants adapted to dry environments, chaparral is characterized by shrubs and dry summers, a temperate grassland has rich soil, moderate rainfall, and is often converted into agricultural land and an arctic tundra is found in extremely cold environments with short growing seasons.
02

Match behaviors to biome

bearing the descriptions in mind, and knowing that the query targets a biome with periodic fires and the presence of grazing herbivores, only one biome fits that behavior: temperate grassland. The fires and heavy grazing prevent tree growth.
