Detailed explanation-1: -Natural vegetation in the Great Plains is dominated by grasses-tallgrass and medium grass prairie in the east and shortgrass and bunchgrass steppes in the west.
Detailed explanation-2: -A plain or flatland is a flat expanse of land with a layer of grass that generally does not change much in elevation, and is primarily treeless. Plains occur as lowlands along valleys or at the base of mountains, as coastal plains, and as plateaus or uplands.
Detailed explanation-3: -The definition of the Great Plains is debated. Typically, it refers to the territory from Montana to Minnesota and down to New Mexico and Texas. In this study, a 12-state area is used, including Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming.
Detailed explanation-4: -Forested plains have different types of trees, shrubs, and other vegetation. Deserts can also be plains. Parts of the Sahara, a great desert in North Africa, are plains. In the Arctic, where the ground is frozen, plains are called tundra.
