Option 1 : Large grasslands

The correct answer is Large grasslands.

  • Grasslands (steppes) are temperate environments, with warm to hot summers and cool to very cold winters; temperatures are often extreme in these midcontinental areas.
  • They are often located between temperate forests and deserts, and annual precipitation falls between the amounts characteristic of those zones.

  1. Grassland is largely dominated by grasses, but with annual and perennial forbs intermixed in different proportions in different areas.
  2. The average height of the grass is correlated with rainfall, so there are tall-, medium-, and short-grass prairie zones across a longitudinal gradient from east to west in North America.
  3. The aspect changes considerably between spring when the grasses are green and the forbs are in bloom and midsummer when brown, seeding and dying plants predominate.
  4. Some steppes, especially in more arid areas, are dominated by shrubs (they are designated as shrub-steppes) and differ from deserts primarily in their higher latitudes, lower mean temperatures, and lower diversity.

Hence, Large grassland vegetation is found in steppe-type climatic regions.
