A grassland is a biome having predominantly grasses, and some woody shrubs, instead of trees and forests. This may be due to soil conditions, low rainfall, or other factors.

Grasslands include the prairies (the Great Plains and Argentina's pampas), the steppes, and the savanna, which is a mostly dry ecosystem composed of tall grasses. Grasslands can be grassy swamps as well, such as in the Florida Everglades.

The animal life in the grasslands have adapted to the grass as a food supply, and the availability of water (often seasonal, or too little, or too much).

Grasslands are a type of flat plateau or flat land.

The grassland biome is a gentle landscape, but it contains a variety of complex and diverse habitats. It's also the world's most productive biomes. The climate in these ecosystems falls between those of deserts and forests:they are usually hot-at least in the summer-and have more rainfall than a desert, but not enough to support many trees.

Grasslands are large terrains of grasses, flowers and herbs. In the winter, grasslands are dull and lifeless because of the weather. In spring, the grass begins growing rapidly and flowers start to bloom. Grassland soil is rich innutrients and is the perfect place for the growth of plant life. There are two divisions of grasslands. The first division is a tropical grassland, called a savanna. The other division is called temperate grasslands. Grasslands favor climates that are hot and dry. The two types of grass that occupy grasslands are tall-grass and short-grass. Tall-grass usually lives in a climate that is moist and wet. Short-grass lives in a climate that is hot and dry.
