Grassland Biomes location, structure and functions
[object Object],[object Object]
The temperate grassland biome Prairies of North America Pampas of South America Veldt of  South Africa Russian / Mongolian Steppes Australian Bush Canterbury Plains, NZ
Steppe terrain in Russia and Mongolia ,[object Object],[object Object]
Steppe climate What do you think the general climate is like throughout the year and why? (think about factors such as latitude) Cool temperate climate for steppe grasslands (warm temperate climate for Veldt)
Steppe climate ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Mean annual temperatures ranging from –15 in winter to +20 in summer. Continental interior results in low temperatures during winter.
Steppe climate ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Precipitation is a dictating factor on grassland biomes and grass type – more rain generally means taller grasses. Low precipitation (not enough for trees) of around 250-500mm per  year.   More precipitation in western steppe than in east as there are less rain-bearing winds.  75% of all precipitation falls during the summer months.
Typical Steppe climate graph

Temperate grassland soils ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
A Horizon  0-50cms Organic matter on top.  Strong drying action by winds.  Crumbly black topsoil. Matted, random root network with accumulation of mull humus and bases Ca, Ng, Na, K and some Fe, Al and Si.  Grasses extract and return minerals.  Many biota such as earthworms  – nutrient mixing and aids drainage .   B1 Horizon  50-100cms Fine vertical roots. Slight leaching of nutrients especially after spring snow melt and summer storms. Loess B2 Horizon  100-160cms Calcification occurs  -  nodules of CaCo 3   form. Loess C Horizon  160-200 cms weathered parent rock Lime-rich  parent rock  200cms
