The 98th meridian is a biophysical boundary that separates the Midwestern region of the United States from the western Great Plains. This region is characterized by increasing aridity towards the west and a shift from forest to grassland vegetation. This biome is known as the Midlatitude grassland, also called the Great Plains or the prairie biome. The vegetation in this biome is dominated by grasses, and there are few trees due to the arid climate.
