This book brings together information on the contrasting characteristics, condition, present use and problems of the world's main natural grasslands. Since grassland is commercialized through the grazing animal, particular attention is paid to the livestock production systems associated with each main type. Grazing resources are more than simply edible herbage: .

Tropical Grasslands are found in Central Africa, Australia, Brazil and India, with an average rainfall from 51 to cm annually. Tropical grasslands are also known as savanna or veldt, are found close to the equator and are hot all year round, with distinctive dry and wet seasons. Rain is generally concentrated in months. A herd of antelope moves slowly through the tall grass. Suddenly a cheetah leaps from its hiding place, and the animals zig and zag across the savanna. They make it to a small grove of scrubby trees, but they can’t let their guard down yet. It’s the end of the rainy season and the antelopes—like many animals on the grasslands—must leave.
Tropical grasslands and tundra tend to be somewhere in-between. Termites and ants are dominant groups in tropical and subtropical grasslands, some surface-dwelling predatory arachnids such as scorpions and solifugids are restricted to warm, arid soils, while cold tolerance limits the range of many species in arctic and antarctic conditions. Tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas and shrublands Large expanses of land in the tropics do not receive enough rainfall to support extensive tree cover. The Tropical and Subtropical Grasslands, Savannas, and Shrublands are characterized by rainfall levels between centimetres per year.

Tropical grasslands include the hot savannas of sub-Saharan Africa and northern Australia. Rainfall can vary across grasslands from season to season and year to year, ranging from 10 to 40 inches.
Tropical grasslands are located near the equator. Between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. Being located near the equator, these grasslands are typically warm all year round (what makes it different from deserts is that tropical grasslands have more vegetation, it also doesn't receive enough precipitation to be a rain forest).
Other articles where Tropical grassland is discussed: grassland: Origin: classified into two broad categories: tropical grasslands, which generally lie between the belts of tropical forest and desert; and temperate grasslands, which generally lie between deserts and temperate forests.
Tropical grasslands occur in the same regions as savannas, and the distinction. In general, grassland forms a transitional belt between areas of desert and forest. They are regions of intermediate and highly seasonal rainfall where there is sufficient moisture to support a drought-resistant vegetation of grasses, shrubs and in some cases trees.
Between the fierce aridity of the desert belt and the constant humidity of Tropical Forests (After Man)|the tropical. Temperate grasslands have two seasons: a growing season and a cold, dormant season when no grass can grow because it is too cold. Because of this, the grasses growing in this grassland biome are shorter than those in the tropical grasslands.
Obviously, the specific plants will vary based on the exact location since grasslands grow across the. Temperate grasslands are somewhat drier than tropical grasslands and also colder, at least for part of the year. Seasonal temperature variation may be slight in tropical grasslands but may vary by as much as 40 °C (72 °F) in temperate grassland areas.
Mean annual rainfall in the North American grassland areas is to millimetres.The large animals that live in tropical grasslands include zebras, gazelles, lions, and kangaroos. equator an imaginary line around the Earth forming a great circle.Tropical grasslands experience hot weather in every season, usually never dropping below 64 degrees.
Temperatures during the summer remain over 80 degrees. Savannas that have warm and dry winters, then hot and rainy summers are called monsoon climates. Precipitation in the savannas greatly vary.
