Forests in the colder reaches of the zone are predominately a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees. These forests are mostly composed of aspen when young, and maples, linden, fir, and spruce at maturity. At higher altitudes, hardy deciduous species like aspen are the pioneers that make up the young plant community before conifers become established. On poor or thin mineral soils over bedrock, pine, fir, and spruce usually dominate.
In the rain shadows of mountain ranges, such as the Rockies, herbaceous grasslands dominate. Excessive summer heat, persistent winds, and low average precipitation, along with fire, make it difficult for trees to thrive in the areas. The nature of these herbaceous grasslands differs from more familiar woodland landscapes in several significant ways. Grasses have extensive underground networks of fibrous roots that probe deeply and thoroughly for moisture. In fact, most of the body (biomass) of both grasses and prairie wildflowers is below the ground. In times of plenty, growth is lush and flowers are exuberant. During drought cycles, plants may remain in a semi-dormant
condition during the growing season to conserve resources. Trees, with their comparative
massive bodies, are not as flexible, and therefore most trees do not survive in this part of the zone.
