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.
