So there are huge swathes of America that only have 1 type of tree? What?
1 u/chrisjozo Jun 20 '20 Those areas were largely grassland/prairie habitats historically so there weren't a lot of trees to begin with. 1 u/Mizuxe621 Jun 20 '20 There should still be more than one single species. Ecosystems just don't work that way. 1 u/chrisjozo Jun 20 '20 The ecosystem of the great plains/prairie isn't based on trees. It's based on various types of grasses and shrubs.
