The savanna

1. The savanna By Kate, Rachel, Aiden, Zora

2. A savanna is a rolling grassland scattered with shrubs and isolated trees, savannas can be found between tropical rainforests and deserts. Not enough rain falls on a savanna to create forests. Savannas are also known as tropical grasslands. They are found in a wide band on either side of the equator on the edges of tropical rainforests.

4. The environmental factors of the savanna biome are complex: altitude ranges from sea level to 2,000 m.A major factor of this biome is the lack of sufficient rainfall which prevents the upper layer of grass from dominating, coupled with fires and grazing, low rain fall keeps the grass layer dominant. The land is mainly flat with a few short twisting trees. There very few rivers.

5. Humans impact the Grassland Savanna by lessening the area of the land by making new space for industrialization. The trees and animals have less space to be so the population decreases with the land, making everything smaller. Large areas of grassland have been turned into farmlands for growing crops. humans being in the grasslands increase the chance of fires. When fires are started by humans and they spread quickly through grasses and damage the soils.
