3. What is a grassland?
A grassland is a large open area of country covered with grass, especially one used for grazing.

4. Characteristics Large open areas Covered with grass
Many times they are near mountains
Relatively flat
Barely any trees
Various Animals

5. Climate & Sunlight
In the grasslands, the average temperature in January is 20° and 70° in July. The Annual precipitation is inches.
In the summer, it is humid and warm. In the winter, the weather is pretty cold.
Sunlight is a key factor.
The sun gives energy to the plants and animals in grasslands.

11. Competition and Symbiosis
Bumble Bee and Flower (Mutualism):
The bumblebee gains nectar, and the flower gets pollinated.
Mites and Beetle (Commensalism):
The mites gain a transport to other food sources. the beetle is not disturbed by the mites.

12. Adaptations
Lots of grasses are wind pollinated and are well-suited to the exposed, windy conditions of the grasslands.
Soft stems enable prairie grasses to bend in the wind. Narrow leaves minimize water loss.

13. Fun Facts Grasslands are usually found between deserts and forests.
True prairies and grasslands are becoming harder and harder to find.
Many people burn grasslands to extend the area.
No other habitat for humans is as useful as grasslands.

14. Review
Grasslands are wide, open lands with an abundance of grass covering the surface.
Grasslands have little trees, if any.
They make habitats for an abundance of animals and wildlife.
There mare many instances of symbiosis in grasslands.
The sun is at the top of the food web, as always.
