  1. Temperate Grassland

  2. 3 Plant Examples • Purple needlegrass • Ryegrass • Buffalo grass

  3. 3 Animal Examples • Cheetah-long legs help them run fast to escape grassland predators • Deer-long legs help them run fast to escape grassland predators • Llama-The animals that live in grasslands have adapted to dry, windy conditions. There are grazing animals (that eat the grass), burrowing animals, and their predators; insects are abundant. A moderate of level species diversity exists on a grassland.

  4. Climate • Temperate grasslands have hot summers and cold winters. Summer temperatures can be well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, while winter temperatures can be as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit.

  5. Human Influences Positive Negative • The hunting of animals have • been banned due to extinction. • National Parks have been created in order to preserve the grassland biome. • People are becoming more aware of the situation and favor in protecting the TG biome • Due to burning of fossil fuels, climate change may further dwindle grassland health, causing changes in temperature and causing droughts. • Humans use TG's extensively for agriculture, causing an increase in soil erosion. Furthermore many different animal species lose their habitats due to the extricating of grasslands.

  6. Location • Temperate grasslands are located north of the Tropic of Cancer and south of the Tropic of Capricorn.The major temperate grasslands include the veldts of Africa, the pampas of South America, the steppes of Eurasia, and the plains of North America.
