Grasslands are vast, open areas dominated by grasses
and few trees. They can be found on every continent
except Antarctica and are often characterized by fertile
soil, making them ideal for agriculture and grazing.
These regions support diverse wildlife, including large
herbivores like bison and antelope, as well as predators
like lions and wolves. Grasslands experience seasonal
variations in temperature and precipitation, leading to
distinct wet and dry periods. They also play a crucial role
in carbon storage and soil health, contributing to
ecological balance.
