of our vegetation consists of grasses‚ and some grow under very difficult conditions because of the climate in the grasslands. Grasses also developed unique characteristics to survive. The climate in the grassland biome is slightly drier than the climate in the deciduous forest biome. The temprature ranges from 20 c to 30 c. The average rainfall varies in the grassland from 10 to 40 inches year around. Fires in the grassland can cause the grasslands to thrive. The grass that gets burned enriches
