Grassland

Grassland, Savanna and Shrubland Biomes

A biome of open, grass-dominated terrain that receives too little rain to sustain a closed forest canopy but too much to become desert, shaped as much by fire and grazing pressure as by climate. Tropical grasslands, commonly called savanna, carry scattered drought-resistant trees and a sharply divided wet and dry season, best known through Africa's Serengeti; temperate grasslands, called prairie in North America, steppe in Eurasia and pampas in South America, carry few or no trees and a deep, fertile topsoil built up by centuries of grass root turnover, which has made many of the world's temperate grasslands into its most productive farmland.

Facts
Climate
Annual Precipitation (mm)
650 1
Cited range runs 10 to 30 inches (roughly 250 to 760mm) a year for prairie-type temperate grassland; 650mm sits within it, not a single measured site.
Typical Low Temperature (C)
-7 1
The cited January MEAN of about -7C (20F) is used directly here; individual cold snaps run considerably lower.
Typical High Temperature (C)
30 1
The cited July MEAN is about 21C; 30C here represents a typical hot summer day rather than the monthly mean, since prairie summer highs commonly exceed the mean by a wide margin.

Dissenting Readings (1 dissenting reading)
Description

Whittaker's own classic biome-climate diagram, published in Communities and Ecosystems (1975), plots vegetation type against mean annual temperature and precipitation and places tropical savanna and temperate grassland/desert in genuinely separate regions of that diagram rather than treating them as one grassland category. Carried here as a real disagreement in the classification literature this atlas draws from: this entry's own choice to fold savanna into one Grassland biome, following a common simplified convention, is not the only defensible reading, and a source as foundational to modern biome classification as Whittaker's own diagram drew the line differently.

A dissenting reading, from Robert H. WhittakerEncyclopaedia Britannica, Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc.
