    The document provides information about grasslands, including: - Grasslands exist on every continent except Antarctica and have a scattering of trees with mostly grasses. They have warm summers and cool winters with temperatures between -20°C to 30°C. - Organisms found in grasslands include grasses, trees, shrubs, as well as animals like elephants, zebras, rhinoceros, cheetahs, and birds. Cheetahs hunt antelopes and grasses have long root systems to access water. - Grasslands face threats from global warming, wildfires, conversion to farmland, pesticides, and past catastrophic events like the dust bowl drought of the 1930s

    We have locations everyw here


    except Antarctica.
    We also have very flat plains.

    General Characteristics

    The Grassland biome is on every continent


    except Antarctica, making it very accessible
    to everyone. It has a scattering of trees and is
    mostly grass. We have warm summers and
    cool winters. The most extreme temperatures
    are around -20C to 30C (-4F to 86F). We
    receive 20-35 inches of rain a year.

    Organisms

    In the Grassland biome we have many


    different organisms. We have mainly three
    types of plants: grasses, trees and shrubs.
    We also have elephants, antelopes, zebras,
    rhinoceros, cheetahs, bison, birds, snakes,
    lions, and more. Cheetahs can run fast to
    catch their prey. Antelopes can run long
    distances to evade the cheetahs. The grasses
    use long root systems to get water. The trees
    also compete with the grasses for water. The
    cheetahs prey on the antelope.

    Natural HazardstotheGrasslands
    The process of global warming could dry out
    the grasslands and turn them into deserts.
    Flames could also burn the savanna and
    destroy the wildlife. This ecosystem is very
    fragile.

    HumanHazardstotheGrasslands
    Grasslands are being turned into farmland,
    because of the rich soil, and the single crops
    can dry up the soil. Pests can infect single
    crop farms easily, causing farmers to pollute
    the environment with toxic pesticides.

    CatastrophicEvents
    The dust bowl was one catastrophic event.
    After seven years of drought, the dirt on the
    plains were so loose, dust storms started to
    cover the plains, causing respiratory damage
    and destruction of land.
