Grassland Soils

b)

Forest Soils

c)

Mountain Soils

d)

Tundra Soils - Permafrost

15.

Natural vegetation will grow in some of these soil regions but not very well in others. This is because elevation is a factor and the nutrients in this soil region vary in their ability to supply nutrients to plant life (coloured blue on the map):

Pearson p. G117

a)

Grassland Soils

b)

Forest Soils

c)

Mountain Soils

d)

Tundra Soils - Permafrost

16.

Natural vegetation will grow in some of these soil regions but not quite as well in others. This is because the nutrients this soil region vary in their ability to supply nutrients to plant life (coloured lighter shades of brown on the map):

a)

Grassland Soils

b)

Forest Soils

c)

Mountain Soils

d)

Tundra Soils - Permafrost

17.

Natural vegetation will grow very well in most these soil regions because the soil can be very fertile. This type of soil region can easily supply nutrients to plant life (coloured darker shades of brown on the map):

Grassland Soils

b)

Forest Soils

c)

Mountain Soils
