Pretend you are walking through the
coniferous boreal forest. The moose is a
typical herbivore in that biome, but for
some reason, there are no moose to be
found. Give one of the reasons why the
moose is no longer in the boreal forest.
3 points
The grassland biome occasionally has to

the dry summers, the prairie grasses
catch on fire and burn to the ground.
However, after the fire, the soil ends up
more fertile than it was before the fire.
Why?
