Grassland ecosystems are vast areas dominated by grasses and few trees, found on every continent except Antarctica. They are characterized by moderate rainfall, which supports a variety of plant and animal life. These ecosystems are crucial for agriculture, providing grazing land for livestock and crops like wheat and corn. Grasslands are home to diverse wildlife, including herbivores such as bison and antelope, as well as predators like wolves and eagles. They play a vital role in carbon storage and soil health, helping to prevent erosion and maintain ecological balance. Conservation efforts are essential to protect these valuable ecosystems from threats like urban development and climate change.
