Oak savannas are unique ecosystems characterized by a mix of open grasslands and scattered oak trees. These areas typically have a warm climate and well-drained soils, allowing grasses and wildflowers to thrive alongside the trees. The presence of oak trees provides shade and habitat for various wildlife species. These habitats are important for biodiversity, supporting many plants and animals, including birds, insects, and mammals. Oak savannas are often found in regions like the Midwestern United States and are crucial for maintaining ecological balance. Conservation efforts aim to protect these areas from development and invasive species.
