*groves of aspen or scattered bur oaks

*mix of deciduous trees, prairie grasses and wild flowers

climate:

*dry winds

*very little rain

*cold winters and hot summers

What is the land like?

*rocky, flat plain

sedge fens

Aspen

bur oak

Prairie Grassland

vegetation:

*flat and rolling grasslands

*vegetated sand dunes

*big bluestem

*wet meadows to shortgrass prairies

climate: rainfall is generally lower and summer temperatures are higher

What is the land like?

*fertile prairie soil

*north - influenced by Glacial Lake Agassiz

*south and southwest - high plateau of quartz bedrock and glacial debris

bluestem

Coniferous Forest

vegetation:

* evergreen trees that bear cones

*pine trees, spruce, fir, and tamarack

*North mix with the deciduous aspen, birch, sugar maple, and basswood

climate:

*cool and moist

*cold winters and cool summers caused by Arctic air masses

*summer rains and winter snow

What is the land like?

*thin glacial deposits blanketing the bedrock in the northeast

* deeper deposits formed in the southern and western parts of this biome

* Peatlands occur in huge areas as a result of large glacial lakes

Deciduous Forest

vegetation:

*sugar maples,

*prairie’s edge, where fires are common, you find- oaks

*silver maple and cottonwood grow along moist river flood plains

*bur oaks and aspen groves mingle with prairie

climate: warm summer temperatures and humid

What is the land like? Most of these forests were cleared and converted to farmland, lakes, rivers, and rugged terrain, ice sheets sculpted portions of the deciduous forest biome, but missed the southeastern corner known as the driftless area, glacial ridges, sand plains, kames (hills), and kettle lakes
