What are the general climatic conditions (e.g., average temps,
precip. And when do they occur) 3.
What are the dominant plant species within the type. 4.
What are the habitat needs of some common game animals that use the

What are (at least 5) other common or important non-game wildlife
species you would expect to find in the type. 6. What are the dominant land uses within the type (e.g., timber harvest, agriculture, recreation, grazing) be prepared to discuss kinds of harvest, agricultural crops, or grazing. We will discuss habitats in several, of the 76 or
so, ecoregions in the conterminous United States during this class.
The ecoregions we will be concerned with are the following: Southern Rockies Within these ecoregions are a number of important ecosystems and habitat types. Grassland
