2. Grassland Grassland biomes contain large tracts of land that has few trees and many rolling hills. Over 20% of the world is covered in grasslands.

3. Grassland Usually a grassland has an annual temperature of any where from around 70-90 degrees during summer and 20-40 degrees during winter to around. A grassland biome usually receives 10-30 inches of precipitation anywhere from.

4. GRASSLAND Grasses are adapted to hot, dry areas, they have long, narrow leaves that lose less water than larger leaves do and their root systems are extensive and deep so that they can acquire water even during drought conditions. Most grasses are in the family Poaceae and share the grass characteristics of narrow, linear leaves. They often have inconspicuous flowers and rhizomes or stolons (creeping roots or stems). Silica is what sand is mainly composed of and it makes grass strong and hard to chew and digest. They are very strong growers, accumulating a large amount of biomass each growing season, and their seeds are dispersed by wind or animals.

5. GRASSLAND There are many types of grasses that rise or grow in the grassland biome. Even though animals graze the plants survive grassland grasses are near the top of the ground. Grasses even escape forest fires because of their underground buds and stems.

6. Grasslands The most visible animals in the grasslands are mammals, there are rabbits, foxes, hawks, and there are many small animals such as crickets, butterflies, worms, and other small animals. There are big animals such as elephants, bison, black rhinoceros, great prairie chicken, lions. To list some predators they are coyotes, weasels, and snakes.
