There is a temperate grassland ecosystem found in west and northeast China. The climates in these regions are semiarid and highland. Grasses in this ecosystem vary with the amount of rainfall. These grasses can survive in the two climate regions because of their ability to grow in both cool and dry climates. The ecosystems present in the northwest are desert and desert scrub. The climates are semiarid and arid, which receive very little rainfall. Vegetation is also scarce. The mild climate and abundant rainfall of the south support the tropical rainforest ecosystem. In parts of the east, there are mid-latitude deciduous and mixed forest ecosystems. The humid subtropical and continental climates sustain these ecosystems. The climate is temperate and receives adequate rainfall. The summers are warm, while winters are cool/cold. In the cold subarctic climates far inland, is where coniferous forests thrive.
