A park-like landscape of grasslands with scattered trees that can survive dry spells. a vast, flat, treeless Arctic region of Europe, Asia, and North America in which the subsoil is permanently frozen. group of plants and animals that depend on each other and their environment for survival coniferous trees are trees that produce cones to carry seeds. They also have needles. These features protect trees through the cold, dry winters of subarctic climates. Vast grasslands cover regions that get more rain than deserts but too little to support forests Vegetation depends on elevation, since temperatures drop as altitude increases. Shrubs and other low plants in Mediterranean climates have to hold water from winter rains to survive hot, dry summers Steady hot temperatures and moist air support the rich ecosystems known as tropical rain forests dry semiarid areas and deserts with some rain support animals and low-lying desert plants. Moist temperate climates support thick forests of deciduous trees
