1 By Jesse C and Justin W.

2  Tropical region, with less rainfall than the tropical dry forest. Yet more rainfall than deserts. What its like:The Facts: 1,500 – 2,500mm average rainfall in the savanna. 68-86 degrees Fahrenheit

3  Strong winds and constant wildfires discourage tree growth.  Due to the fire damage plants have adapted to re-grow very quickly, with a waxy coating. That helps them cope with the dry periods by trapping the water in the plant itself.  Acacia trees are another type of famous plant that have adapted to the savanna and adapted to store water within its thorny bark. And can live without water for 11 months.

4 Herbivores:  Elephants, Zebras, Gazelles, Wildebeest, Giraffes are the commonly seen plant eating wildlife of the Savanna

5 Carnivores:  Lions, Leopards, and Hyenas are the common predators of the Savanna.

6 Net Primary Production: Areas where its wetter or warmer have a higher net primary production than others. Ω The Savanna has a net primary production of 800

7  Africa(10n and 30s)  South America: Between:  Brazil(3s and 25s)  Venezuela + Columbia(2n and 8n)

8  India(11n and 25n)  Australia(20s and 35s)

9  Limited access to water  Fertility of the soil is worn out from the little to no rain, and or water sources in the Savanna

10  Negative Effects:  Humans poaching the animals of these biomes for their resources  Humans being in the biomes, increases the chance for wildfires to start and spread  Humans moving through and destroying the land and turning it into farm areas and living areas

11  Positive?  There is hardly any, we’re destroying these biomes and the best thing would be for us to just leave them alone and let them be
