If a place has the code BSk, what is the likely vegetation form?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Cold semi-arid grassland
BSk represents a cold semi-arid or cold steppe climate. B identifies a dry climate, S indicates steppe or semi-arid conditions rather than a true desert, and k shows that the dry climate is cold. Limited precipitation and a high moisture deficit prevent dense forests from developing, so sparse grasses, short shrubs, and other drought-tolerant vegetation are typical.
