Grass usually needs a lot of sunlight, therefor it is not extremely common in tropical rainforests. Small amounts of long grasses may grow along bodies of water in a rainforest. Also, there are natural clearing in all jungles, and grasses thrive here. Bamboo is quite common in jungles worlwide, and it is considered a grass.

What type of plants grow in grasslands?

Mostly grass and trees.


Why do grasslands not have big trees?

Trees require more consistent water than grass. Sometimes you will see a tree in a desert - if it has a water source underground to pull from. In grasslands you will see trees congregate near water sources - again more consistent water.


What is the tropical grassland with scattered trees?

If you are trying to ask why grasslands have few trees this is my paragraph on it. Grasslands do not have many large trees for multiple reasons first of all there is a low moisture level in grasslands for trees to grow, but if a river or stream runs through a grassland trees may grow around it. Also there are no warm times in grasslands it goes from hot right to cold, there is little to no time where trees can grow in a warm climate there. Another reason is that grazing of animals prevents trees and shrubs to grow because they are either trampled or eaten by the animals grazing there. One more way is that if a grassland has a fire it will burn the trees that grew and kill and trees that are trying to sprout.


What prevents most trees from growing in grasslands?

Grasslands typically have a shallow soil layer due to frequent fires and grazing, limiting the depth of tree roots. The competition for sunlight and resources with grasses and other vegetation also hinders tree growth in grasslands. Additionally, grasslands tend to have lower moisture availability, which may not support the water requirements of trees.


Why do the trees in the grassland biome not grow well?

Trees in grassland biomes do not grow well because of the limited water availability, frequent fires, grazing by herbivores, and poor soil quality. These factors inhibit tree growth and favor the dominance of grasses and other vegetation better adapted to these conditions.
