Materials or substances such as minerals, forests, water, and fertile land that occur in nature and can be used for economic gain coniferous trees are trees that produce cones to carry seeds. They also have needles. These features protect trees through the cold, dry winters of subarctic climates. a covering of ice over a large area, especially on the polar region of a planet. Vegetation depends on elevation, since temperatures drop as altitude increases. A park-like landscape of grasslands with scattered trees that can survive dry spells. Vast grasslands cover regions that get more rain than deserts but too little to support forests Moist temperate climates support thick forests of deciduous trees Shrubs and other low plants in Mediterranean climates have to hold water from winter rains to survive hot, dry summers a vast, flat, treeless Arctic region of Europe, Asia, and North America in which the subsoil is permanently frozen. Steady hot temperatures and moist air support the rich ecosystems known as tropical rain forests
