Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice is D because before the 1988 fires, much of Yellowstone was covered by a lodgepole pine forest, which was heavily impacted by the fires. Sequoia trees are not native to Yellowstone, Great Plains grasslands are not found in the park, and eastern hemlock forest is more commonly found in the eastern United States. Tundra does exist in Yellowstone but is limited to higher elevations.
