Grassland | Definition, Animals, Plants, Climate, Facts | Britannica Grassland, area in which the vegetation is dominated by a nearly continuous cover of grasses Grasslands occur in environments conducive to the growth of this plant cover but not to that of taller plants, particularly trees and shrubs
Grassland - Wikipedia A grassland is an area (or ecosystem) where the vegetation is dominated by grasses (Poaceae) However, sedge (Cyperaceae) and rush (Juncaceae) can also be found along with variable proportions of legumes such as clover, and other herbs Grasslands occur naturally on all continents except Antarctica and are found in most ecoregions of the Earth
Grasslands Explained - Education Grasslands are found where there is not enough regular rainfall to support the growth of a forest, but not so little that a desert forms In fact, grasslands often lie between forests and deserts Depending on how they’re defined, grasslands account for between 20 and 40 percent of the world's land area
