Passage based practice
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.
