2 of 5
which of the following qualities determines if an area should be considered a grassland?
height of plants
location
amount of stored carbon in soil
amount of precipitation
To determine if an area is a grassland, the key factor is the amount of precipitation. Grasslands have a specific range of precipitation (more than deserts, less than forests) that supports grass - dominated vegetation. Plant height can vary, location isn't the sole determinant, and soil carbon storage is a result rather than a defining factor.
