sunnyMost of the Great Plains region has a semiarid climate, with a wide range of temperature and little rainfall. The semiarid climate does not provide enough precipitation to support trees in much of the region where the natural vegetation is mostly grassland, but in northern regions the summers are short and cool and the sparse precipitation is enough to support a coniferous forest.
Vegetation near the equator is of the evergreen type, comprising of a canopy of tall trees which are generally not found in pure stands. The vegetation near the poles is sparse and of desert type, comprising of ferns and shrubs and some flowering plants which can generally be seen only in the summer.
why are some places sparse
Sparse means not occurring much.

Try Eastern Oregon....Bend, it's all volcanic wasteland and mountains, rivers, very pretty...snows quite a lot in winter, but summers are kinda warm too....try Alaska!
Some countries that have tundra climate include Russia, Canada, Greenland, Norway, and parts of Alaska in the United States. These regions typically experience long, cold winters with permafrost and short summers with sparse vegetation.

SteppesSemi dry plains with sparse vegetation are called Steppes
it means rare
Savanna.

The Tundra climate region is only found in the Northern Hemisphere. It is characterized by cold temperatures, low precipitation, and a short growing season, resulting in a landscape of permafrost and sparse vegetation.
Even though Arabia is a desert, there are still small scrub plants and areas of sparse vegetation. Horses adapted to this area of the world can survive on sparse vegetation.
Chaparral is a shrubland or heathland plant community found primarily in the U.S. state of California and in the northern portion of the Baja California peninsula, Mexico. It is shaped by a Mediterranean climate (mild, wet winters and hot dry summers) and wildfire, featuring summer-drought tolerant plants with hard sclerophyllous evergreen leaves, as contrasted with the associated soft-leaved, drought deciduous, scrub community of coastal sage scrub, found below the chaparral biome. (Wikipedia) A desert a region so arid because of little rainfall that it supports only sparse and widely spaced vegetation or no vegetation at all.

Arid and semi-arid regions are distinguished on the basis of their annual precipitation sums and include: # Deserts with an annual precipitation sum
