Grassland
The name for this biome, temperate grasslands, is a great description for what it is like here. The most important plants in this biome are grasses! Temperate grasslands have some of the darkest, richest soils in the world.
WEATHER: Temperatures in this biome vary greatly between summer and winter. The summers are hot and the winters are cold.
PLANTS: Grasses dominate temperate grasslands. Trees and large shrubs are rarely found in grassland areas.
ANIMALS: All grasslands share a lack of shelter from predators, and an abundance of grass for food; therefore, grassland animal populations are similar throughout the world. The dominant vertebrates in grasslands are herbivorous or plant-eating grazers called ungulates. Ungulates are mammals with hoofs, like horses and deer.
