Grassland Ecosystems

Grassland ecosystems are vast areas dominated by grasses rather than trees or shrubs. They are found on every continent except Antarctica, thriving in regions with moderate rainfall. These ecosystems support diverse wildlife, including herbivores like bison and deer, and predators like wolves and eagles. Grasslands play a crucial role in carbon storage, soil health, and water retention. They are often used for agriculture and grazing, but human activities can threaten their sustainability. Conserving grasslands is essential for maintaining biodiversity and ecological balance.
