Temperate grasslands, savannas, and shrublands
Temperate grasslands, savannas, and shrublands is a biome whose predominant vegetation consists of grasses and/or shrubs. The climate is temperate and semi-arid to semi-humid.
 temperature: warm to hot season (often with a cold to freezing season in winter)
soil: fertile with rich nutrients and minerals
plants: grass
animals: large, grazing mammals; birds
Steppes are short grasslands that occur in semi-arid climates. Prairies are tall grasslands in areas of higher rainfall. Heaths and Pasture are, respectively, low shrublands and grasslands where forest growth is hindered by human activity, not climate.
Tall grasslands, including the Prairie of North America and the Humid Pampas of Argentina, have moderate rainfall and rich soils which make them ideally suited to extensive agriculture, and tall grassland ecoregions include some of the most productive grain-growing regions in the world.
