Grass Lands
Tall grass prairies are located between the Mississippi River and Nebraska. They receive between 10 to 30 inches of rain per year and have a growing season from late spring to early fall when temperatures are between 50 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The soil is dark brown or black and nutrient-rich due to the dense roots of the grasses. Native plants such as sunflowers, asters, and wildflowers have adaptations like deep roots and upright forms to compete for sunlight and water in the prairie environment. Animals such as bison, deer and rabbits also have adaptations like burrowing, traveling in herds, and thick winter coats. However, human impacts such as farming non-native plants have reduced tallgrass prairies

Madrone
Madrone is a tree with red bark that peels away on young trees, glossy green leaves that are paler underneath, clusters of orange-red berries, and hardwood. It is abundant on the west side of mountains driving to Medford and in the valley, providing food for birds like Cedar waxwings that feast on its berries.
Lombardy poplar
The Lombardy Poplar is characterized by its distinctive exclamation mark silhouette shape, heart shaped leaves, and skinny cottonwood-like form with aromatic buds. It is commonly used as wind breaks in agricultural areas where it is often planted in rows and reproduces vegetatively. The Lombardy Poplar has naturalized throughout the western US and provides important habitat for birds in arid regions.
Lodgepole pine
Lodgepole Pine is a tree with short needles bundled in pairs and a pole-like trunk that often grows in dense stands. It has two varieties, with alpine varieties having less crowded trees and larger trunks. Fire and beetles are important factors that cause mortality in Lodgepole Pine, and its uniform stands are a result of fire mortality. The seeds are only released at high temperatures and many animal species rely on Lodgepole Pine for food and habitat.
Gooseberry
The document describes the gooseberry plant, a shrub with palmate leaves, single spines, and twigs armed with spines. Many gooseberry species bear edible green to red fruit used as a food source by birds. Gooseberries are distinguished from similar currant plants by their armed twigs and spines, and act as an alternate host for the white pine blister rust fungus.
Klamath plum
The Klamath Plum is a shrub or small tree found in Southern Oregon and Northern California with small oval leaves, dark red or purple fruit, and white flowers forming in round clusters. It forms dense thickets that provide great browse and habitat for deer and elk, while its plums are eaten by birds and mammals and can be made into excellent jam.
Currants
Currants are loosely branched shrubs up to 10 feet tall with palmate leaves and berries that range from blue to red-orange. They grow in dry slopes, open areas and forests, and their berries are edible and eaten by many birds.
