2. Part One The Research The biome that I am researching is grasslands, and here is some important information that you should know about the grasslands Chris Charest

3. Climate The climate for grasslands is dry. Precipitation is usually between 100 cm per year and 20 cm per year. Chris Charest

4. Where, you may ask?

5. Animals and Plants In North America the dominant grazing animals are bison and pronghorn The dominant vegetation in a Grassland is obviously GRASS!!!! Chris Charest Also a few shrubs, bushes and a tree or two here and there

6. Effects of Humans Humans mainly “burn and graze” grasslands, burning a large area, then using the soil for good farmland Another large human impact is city building, streets and cities sometimes may have been located over what used to be a grassland
