But (this'll be fuzzy) wasn't the land north of Mordor, the land that Sam, Frodo, and Gollum passed through, wasn't it barren? If memory serves, nothing would grow in this one stretch of land because it was so poisoned and dirty.
So there were probably stretches in Mordor just like that. But how much would be the question.
