What is the geographical distribution in temperate grasslands?

Temperate grasslands are primarily found in regions with moderate rainfall and distinct seasonal variations, predominantly in the interior of continents. Major areas include the Great Plains of North America, the Pampas of Argentina, the steppes of Eurasia, and the veld of South Africa. These ecosystems are characterized by open landscapes dominated by grasses, with few trees or shrubs due to limited moisture. They typically experience cold winters and warm summers, which contribute to their unique biodiversity and soil fertility.
