Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the characteristics of each biome listed in the question: Desert, Taiga, Grassland, and Tundra. Each biome has unique features such as climate, vegetation, and animal life.
Recall that the density of trees is influenced by factors like temperature, precipitation, and soil quality. Biomes with higher precipitation and moderate temperatures tend to support more tree growth.
Analyze the Desert biome: Deserts are characterized by low precipitation and extreme temperatures, which limit the growth of vegetation, including trees.
Analyze the Grassland biome: Grasslands are dominated by grasses and have few trees due to moderate precipitation and frequent fires that prevent tree growth.
Analyze the Taiga biome: The Taiga, also known as the boreal forest, is characterized by cold climates and dense coniferous forests, making it the biome with the highest density of trees among the options provided.
