The center of the continental US is colored purple, yellow, and green stretching from northern Mexico to Canada. Splotches of green form a line from New Mexico to Alberta showing the cores of intact grasslands. Expanding outward from the green are swaths of yellow, mixed with green and purple. Yellow indicates at-risk grasslands and touches several US states including Iowa and Texas, and Alberta. The purple area, depicting plowed land, tree encroachment is the largest area from Mexico to Alberta to Illinois
