Where are grasslands located?
Grasslands occur naturally on all continents except Antarctica. In temperate latitudes, such as northwest Europe, grasslands are dominated by perennial species, whereas in warmer climates annual species form a greater component of the vegetation. Grasslands can be found in most terrestrial climates. Grassland vegetation can vary in height from very short, as in chalk downland where the vegetation may be less than 30 centimeters or 12 inches high, to quite tall, as in the case of North American tallgrass prairie, South American grasslands and African savanna. Grasslands cover nearly fifty percent of the land surface of the continent of Africa. Grasses grow in great concentrations in climates where annual rainfall ranges between 500 and 900 millimeters or 20 and 35 inches. See the links below for additional information. Hope this helps.
