Grasslands
Grasses and forbs dominate. Fire and grazing prevent the establishment of shrubs and trees
Moderate to low rainfall and a wide range of temperatures permit grasslands
Seasonal drought, occasional fires, and grazing by herbivores prevent the establishment of trees as the dominant vegetation
Grasslands are a widespread biome; examples include the Prairies of North America, the Steppes of Asia, the Pampas of Argentina, the Veldts of South Africa, and the Puszta of Hungary.
