Words describing Grasslands?

Grasslands are large regions containing mostly grass and maybe a few trees. They are also known as prairies or steppes, pampas or veldts. Grasslands exist in relatively dry regions, where there is not enough rain for forests but just enough rain for grasses.


What kind of trees are in grasslands?

very few trees exist in grasslands, but there are some. No pine trees though.


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.


Tropical Grasslands are also called?

Savannas. Savannas are grasslands with small pockets of trees. They cover almost half the area of Africa, and are home to large grazing animals and packs of predators.


What are the plants and animals in a grassland?

They are things that live there and digest. Animals eat the plants in grasslands and grasslands survivve by the sun. The plants and animals that live in grasslands are called the ZOO because zoo's have animals and plants and so does grasslands THANKS! Hope i helped you & please vote a like! :)
