Grassland Biome Research By: Kimmie Rierson

Grassland Geography & Climate Location: The North American Prairie, The Pampas, and Alpine Climate Description: Mostly grasslands Soil type: Rich soil is good for farming Precipitation: inches rain fall Temperate range: 100 F in summers and (37.8 c )and in the winters Climate: Very hot summer and very cold winters

Grassland Biodiversity gardenorganic.org Plant species: purple needle grass wild oats, foxtail, rye grass and buffalo grass.Animals species: bison, antelope, birds, gophers, prairie dogs, coyotes, lynx, falcons, fox and insects moremesa.org

Grassland Adaptations Needed for Survival Plant: The animals eat the stems of the leafs of the plants and produces oxygen so the animals can live. Animal: The animals eat the stems and the leafs of the plants produces

Grassland Interactions of Biotic and Abiotic Biotic : The grass that the animals eat and the plants they soak up the sunlight. Abiotic : When the animals breathe the oxygen and the sunlight that helps the plants that the animals eat.

What is Biodiversity? Well Biodiversity is different varieties of life

How does biodiversity contribute to the sustainability of an ecosystem ?
