Savannah woodlands

Savannah woodlands are ecosystems characterized by widely spaced trees and grasses, mainly found in regions with warm temperatures and seasonal rainfall. These areas support diverse plant and animal life due to their mix of open space and trees. The trees are adapted to dry conditions and often have thick bark or small leaves to conserve water. Savannahs are important for their biodiversity, acting as habitats for many species, and play a crucial role in the climate and carbon cycle. They typically experience a distinct dry season, during which grasses and trees survive through drought-resistant features.
