Grasslands are globally important because they are a natural Carbon Sink and natural carbon sinks are an important part of a natural process called Carbon Cycle.
In the carbon cycle, earth both emits and re-captures and stores large quantities of Carbon Dioxide, also known as CO2, from the earth's atmosphere thereby keeping the global temperature more or less in balance.
Terrestrial plants use the carbon dioxide from the air for their photosynthesis process.
Other important carbon sinks are forests and oceans.

∙ 16y agoAt one point, tall grass prairies covered vast expanses of the American heartland. The productivity of the grasses led to the formation of mollisol soils, which are deep and rich in organic matter, and are the key to the fertility of "America's breadbasket". They help sustain some of the world's oxygen and some of the insects and wildlife which is so important to human life. Tallgrass prairies are also important in keeping with the asthetic appeal to human life. Every one wants to look at that kind of thing, but nobody protects it. If we were all in a world of concrete and buildings we would die. Tallgrass is so important because it shows natural beauty in life.
