Grasslands By: Hammad Lunat, Mehak Kazi and Fajr Karim

What are Grasslands?:

What are Grasslands? People call grasslands prairie or plains. There is an average of 20% of precipitation every year in grasslands. Fires are a constant threat often burning down grasslands. The grasses grow from the root. Then the leaves sprout up. The long roots are long enough to store water through a drought. Important adaptations help animal and plants survive in the grasslands.

Facts About grasslands:

Facts About grasslands Grasslands are areas where there is a lot of vegetation. There are grasslands in all continents except Antarctica. Wherever there is warmer climates there is more vegetation. Grassland vegetation can vary in height from very short, as in chalk where the vegetation may be less than 30 cm (12 in) high, to quite tall, as in the case of North American tall grass prairie. Grasslands cover nearly fifty percent of the land surface of the continent of Africa.
