Grasslands

The savanna is the home to many animals and much wildlife.
THE IMPORTANCE OF SAVANNA IS THAT ITS A GRASSLAND IN THE TROPICS OR Subtropics.

Some endangered animals in prairies or temperate grasslands include the black-footed ferret, swift fox, mountain plover, and greater sage-grouse. Loss of habitat due to agriculture, urban development, and climate change are some of the threats they face. Conservation efforts are being made to protect and restore these species and their habitats.

It could be a daisy, a clover, or a buttercup. These are common small white flowers that are often found in meadows.

well first off you shouldnt be using this site if its for homework or a prodgect because you cant belive what everybody says. soo go find it somewhere else like in your text book or on a website that random people can just put the answer up, they could tell you something completly wrong and you wouldnt know it.. ok well go find your answer somewhere else. have a good day.

The American bison, also known as the buffalo, is an animal that once roamed the prairies of North America in large herds. They played a crucial role in the ecosystem and were an important resource for Native American tribes.

The prairie schooner was invented by John Murphy in the mid-19th century. It was a lightweight covered wagon used primarily by pioneers traveling westward across the Great Plains during the frontier expansion of the United States.

Nonliving things in grasslands include rocks, soil, water, air, sunlight, and organic matter such as dead plant material. These abiotic components play a crucial role in shaping the grassland ecosystem and supporting its biodiversity.

Prairie King snakes are carnivorous and primarily feed on small mammals such as mice, voles, and rats. They may also eat other snakes, birds, and occasionally amphibians or insects.

A primary consumer in the grasslands is typically an herbivore such as a grasshopper, rabbit, or deer that feeds on plants and grasses for energy. These animals play a crucial role in the ecosystem by transferring energy from plants to higher trophic levels.

A plain is an area with relatively low relief. Prairie refers to the Great Plains of North America which are flat.

the term "Prairie" has both a generic and specific meaning. It means an expanse of level grassland in one of 3 categories either:-

(1) Tall Grass Prairie,

(2) Mixed or Mid Grass Prairie, or

(3) Short Grass Prairie.

Prairies are always composed mainly of perennial grass with certain species of flowering plants and in temperate climates. They give their names to the Prairie Provinces of Canada where they are located, e.g. Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.

" A Plain" just means some expanse of flat level land which can be anywhere in the world having little or no elevation nor depression. Examples of well known Plains BUT which are not Prairies are "Salisbury Plain" in Wiltshire in the south of the United Kingdom or the "Plain of Babylon" between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in Iraq, neither of which are perennial grasslands. So a Prairie will also be a Plain, but most Plains in the world are not Prairies.

Bisons live in grasslands because they primarily feed on grasses. Grasslands provide the open spaces and the vegetation that bison require for food. Additionally, the open landscapes of grasslands allow bison to graze efficiently and spot predators from a distance.

It is called a "bachelor herd" when a group of antelope leave the main herd to search for better grassland. These smaller groups can consist of young males or older males that may not be able to compete successfully within the main herd.

well some people say, oh a grassland is a land covered in grass. well no really. way to point out the obvious. a temperate grassland summed up has fertile soils that are able to support quick cover of grasses. drough, grazing animals, and fires keep grasslands from becoming forests. it is home to a wide variety of plants. the grassland parks are normally very large parks with nothing much to see, just alot of flat land with grass and animals. there are few shrubs and trees that support the organisms/animals that live there. if the temperature dropped the grassland would turn into a desert, anything above would be a tropical biome. it gets 10-30 inches of rain a year.

some say wiki. is a website where anyone can write random things about whatever you pick, and yes that's true. but this, nope:) its all real, because im in biology right now(:

thankss.

Brian most likely lives in a savanna biome. Savannas are characterized by a mix of grasses and scattered trees, seasonal rainfall, and warm temperatures throughout the year.

"Meadowland" is a Russian folk song composed in 1892 by Alexander Alyabyev, with lyrics by S. Stepanov. It has since become one of the most popular and enduring Russian folk songs, often performed in instrumental and vocal arrangements at various events and celebrations. The song is known for its nostalgic and melancholic melody, expressing longing for the beauty of the Russian countryside.

The economic activity in prairies is predominantly agriculture, including farming of crops such as wheat, corn, and soybeans, as well as livestock farming. There is also a growing presence of oil and gas extraction in some regions of the prairies. Additionally, industries like forestry, mining, and tourism also play a role in the economy of prairies.

Dry grasslands such as the prairies and savanna are marked by a limited or seasonal rainfall, which is one factor for the lack of trees (which may still predominate along existing streams and rivers). A wet grassland is a swamp such as the Everglades, where most of the land is covered by water for part of the year. This can impede tree growth because of the lack of a solid soil base, and because water can rot seeds and wood. Higher salinity can be another factor. Trees such as the mangrove are adapted to swamps in temperate climates, and grow on the borders of the sawgrass regions in Florida.

The average snowfall in grasslands varies widely depending on location. In North America, grasslands can receive anywhere from 10 to 30 inches of snow annually, with some regions experiencing higher amounts. In other parts of the world, such as the Eurasian steppe, snowfall can be less frequent and lighter.

Meadow birds like to eat a variety of insects such as grasshoppers, beetles, and caterpillars. They also feed on seeds, grains, and grasses that are plentiful in meadow habitats. Additionally, some meadow birds may consume small fruits and berries when available.

Grassland animals are animals that live in grassy, open landscapes. They are adapted to living in habitats with abundant grasses and little to no trees, such as zebras, bison, kangaroos, and prairie dogs. These animals have specialized adaptations to help them survive in grassland environments.

The Tropical grassland biome, such as the African savanna, lie mostly between the tropics of Cancer (23.4 degrees North) and Capricorn (23.4 degrees South). Tropical grasslands are a transition between the hot desert biome and the tropical rainforest biome - it receives between approx. 51 to 127 cm of rainfall annually, and has two seasons - a dry season and a wet season. Temperatures are reasonably constant all year round (25 to 33 degrees C)Lack of rainfall means that grass and a few specially adapted trees, such as the Acacia and Baobab trees, survive in this environment. There are less trees the closer you get to the desert and more trees the closer you get to the rainforest. Fire is very important in the grasslands as it burns off the dry stalks of grass, which renew when the rains come. The grasses roots are protected from the fire and the ash puts nutrients into the soil. The baobab tree survives the dry season and fire, because it stores water in its trunk and has a very thick bark. The acacia also has long tap roots and a bark that has a fire resistant sap. Significant animals in tropical grasslands include: Elephants, giraffe, lions, cheetah, cattle, antelope, wildebeest and buffalo. Environmental concerns in tropical grasslands include: poaching, overgrazing, clearing of the land for crops, soil erosion The temperate grasslands are located north and south of the tropics and extend to approximately 60 degrees north and south. They are better known as prairies or plains in the USA and Canada, Steppes in Eurasia, Pampas in South America and the Veld in South Africa. Here the dominant vegetation is grass, with many flowers. Here, there is less rainfall than in the tropical grasslands, approx 25 -75cm annually, but here the seasons differ inthe fact that there is a warm season and an extremely cold (or dormant, non-growing) season where temperatures range from 38 degrees C. in the summer, to as low as -40 degrees C. in the winter in the more extreme latitudes. Significant animals in temperate grasslands include: Bison, gazelle, deer; burrowing animals such as mice and jack rabbits; and predators such as snakes and coyotes. Environmental concerns in temperate grasslands are: many prairies have been turned into farms or grazing because the land is flat, treeless, covered with grass, and have rich soil. Grasslands are found on all continents, except for Antarctica.

Three major cities in the grassland region are Denver, Colorado in the United States, Calgary in Canada, and Canberra in Australia. These cities are all located in areas that have grassland biomes characterized by expansive plains and grassy landscapes.

Grasslands grass is typically green due to the presence of chlorophyll in the plant cells, which is responsible for photosynthesis. However, the color of grass can vary based on factors like climate, soil quality, and time of year.

Grasslands are also known as prairies or savannas, characterized by vast expanses of grasses with few trees. They are important ecosystems that support a diverse range of wildlife and provide valuable ecosystem services such as carbon storage and water regulation.
