Description of temperate grasslands-



The word temperate describes the weather there which is hot in summer and chilly in winter. Temperate parts of the world hardly ever get as hot as the tropics and as cold as the Polar regions, but most are in the middle. Temperate grasslands are the most important biomes in the world as many organisms live in this climate and feed off the food produced here. Temperate grasslands change all the time in winter they are dark and grey and flowers emerge and are colorful in the spring. To survive, grassland plants have to adapt and they spread to every continent even Antarctica. The rain fall amount changes every year and allows trees and dense vegetation like forests. Deserts occur in places where there is less rain fall. Temperate grasslands are in the middle with more rain than deserts and less than forests. However, temperate grasslands aren't all the same and can be dusty or muddy. In any grassland you should be able to find dozens of varieties of grass to support different populations of animals.
