It is more likely to mean a desert or arid area. The legend on the map will give you the precise level of flora in the area.
Here I'm just guessing, but I live about 1/2 mile from Rand-McNally's headquarters, and I like to think that I've absorbed something from their smokestacks through the years. Seems to me that a smart mapmaker, who wants his product to resemble reality in some sense, would want to show grasslands in green, like grass, and a desert in brown ... you know, like sand ?
The thematic map that includes categories such as desert scrub, tropical grassland, and broadleaf evergreen is typically a biogeographic or ecological map. These maps classify regions based on their vegetation types and climate, illustrating how different ecosystems are distributed across a given area. They help in understanding biodiversity, land use, and environmental management.
fish pies are available
We find soil rarely in deserts but it is of colour brown and it is often cracked coz of the hotness.
Grassland rather than forests are different due to water, water and water. The more water (rain, snow) the more likely trees will grow. The less water, more grass will be there. If you look on a map (US), you will see that the further west you look, the fewer trees will be seen and more and more grass, until you will begin to see desert in which even grasses have a hard time growing.

It doesn't mean grassland. Green on a topographic map means there is enough cover to hide a tank. It was developed in one of the world wars I think.
