... • American Beech: The American Beech has shallow roots and produces seeds in the form of nuts. It grows well in this biome because its shallow roots mean that water and nutrients have to be available near the surface of the soil. The rich soil in this biome is perfect for it, and the animals like ch ...

Shorebirds and Their Non-Breeding Habitat in North American
... Additionally, there are a smaller number of shorebird species that mostly spend very little time near or in wetlands. For example, up to half the world’s population of Mountain Plovers spends their winter largely in dry, sparsely vegetated agricultural or short-grass fields of southern California. M ...
