Best Answer

Precipitation. Not enough precipitation falls on the ground that would allow trees to establish themselves successfully. Also, the rain that does fall tends to be evaporated into the atmosphere almost immediately, never really able to get deep into the soil. Plants that have fibrous root systems at the surface take advantage of this, and are able to thrive where trees would die.

On an average an acre of corn transpires- 3000-4000 gallons a day and a tree can transpire 40000 gallons per year, amounting to approximately 110 gallons a day. Transpiration varies for different types of plants and trees. There are various factors that effect transpiration like weather, type of tree, wind, humidity etc.

How many different combinations of trees could you buy if your local garden centre has only four cedar trees and three apple trees in stock The answer is 19 Why?

Assuming that all the cedar trees are the same and that the three apple trees are the same, and it doesn't matter which of the apple trees you purchase, then you have the following options: CCCCAAA, CCCCAA, CCCCA, CCCC, CCCAAA, CCCAA, CCCA, CCC, CCAAA, CCAA, CCA, CC, CAAA, CAA, CA, C, AAA, AA or A. This is 19 possibilities. Because the problem says that you buy trees, the null set (i.e., not buying anyting) is not as option.

Why do grasslands have few trees?

Grasslands do not have many large trees for multiple reasons first of all there is a low moisture level in grasslands for trees to grow, but if a river or stream runs through a grassland trees may grow around it. Also there are no warm times in grasslands it goes from hot right to cold, there is little to no time where trees can grow in a warm climate there. Another reason is that grazing of animals prevents trees and shrubs to grow because they are either trampled or eaten by the animals grazing there. One more way is that if a grassland has a fire it will burn the trees that grew and kill and trees that are trying to sprout.
