A couple of questions about Bird's Eye terrain types

In the Bird's Eye symbol set, what is the difference between rich grassland and poor grassland?
What is an example of scorched alpine?
Comments
As I recall, rich grassland is darker and greener, and more what you would find in a fertile valley, whereas poor grassland is more like plains, impoverished areas, or dry places bordering deserts.
If you look at GoogleEarth view of the Himalayas you will see there is a dark greenish brown covering of the slopes between the peaks at the highest extent of the vegetation - before it all becomes bare earth and rock. I called it scorched alpine because it's alpine, but probably frost scorched at that altitude.
I also used a little artistic licence with all the colours.
Thank you, Sue! Very helpful. Love the style.
