Journeying
through the
Habitat of the
Grasslands
Learning Objective
Identify features of grasslands
Identify animals and plants found in
grasslands.
Identify types of grasslands
Grasslands
Grasslands are vast areas of land dominated
by grasses with few trees or shrubs. They are
found on every continent except for
Antarctica and cover around 25% of the
Earth's land surface. Grasslands are
important ecosystems that support a wide
variety of plant and animal life, and they also
provide important resources
North America: The Great Plains of the United States and Canada.
South America: The Pampas of Argentina and Uruguay.
Africa: The savannas of Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa.
Asia: The steppes of Mongolia and Kazakhstan.
Europe: The Hungarian Plain and the Russian steppes.
Australia: The savannas and grasslands of Northern Australia.
Grasslands Locations
Characteristics of
Grasslands Habitat
Grasslands habitat are dominated by grasses
and non-woody plants. It has moderate
rainfall with hot summers and cold winters.
Grasslands have few to no trees with rich soil.
Animals of the
Grasslands
Types of animals found in grasslands can
vary depending on the location and climate
of the specific grassland. For examples,
animals found in grasslands are animals like
antelopes, bison,d eer and zebras.
Grasslands can be divided into three main categories:
Savannas, which are found in tropical regions and have a mix of grasses and trees.
Temperate grasslands, which are found in areas with cold winters and warm
summers, and are dominated by grasses.
Tropical grasslands, also known as savannas, which are found near the equator
and have warm temperatures year-round, with a mix of grasses and trees.
Types of Grasslands
Plants of the
Grasslands
Grasslands are characterized by vast
stretches of grasses and wildflowers with
few trees. The plants in grasslands have
adapted to survive droughts and wildfires,
which are common in these areas.
Human Impact on
Grasslands
Due to human impact, grasslands are among
the most threatened habitats. The loss of
grasslands is a major global concern due to
human activities such as agriculture,
urbanization, and industrialization.
Conservation
Conservation of grasslands can be promoted
by limiting grazing and ensuring responsible
land use practices. Also implementing
controlled burning to maintain grassland
health. Most importantly supporting your
local conservation efforts and organizations
with grassland conservation efforts.
