Types of GrasslandsTypes of Grasslands
Tall Grass Usually Humid and very wet.
Contains more trees than short grass Grasslands
Either tropical, sub-tropical, or close to a major river or lake, making the grass longer and more lush looking.

Short Grass Dry Hotter Summers, Colder Winter than tall grass Grasslands
Farther away from the ocean, making the grass shorter and more brown color.

Grasslands are usually in the middle of a continent, so usually have small lakes or rivers running through them.
Most Grasslands are dry because they aren’t close enough to the ocean to receive moisture.
Their determination between Short and Long grass Grasslands depends on the position on the Earth, or if they are near a major lake or river.

Plant LifePlant Life
Usually only grass, very few trees can grow because of the thin soil.
Usually have flowers like Sunflowers, Blazing Stars, Coneflowers, and shrubs and weeds like Crazy Weed, Asters, Buffalo Grass, Clovers. Other flowers are Golden Rods and Wild Indigos.
Trees that grow there are usually burnt down when a wildfire comes, but the grass keeps growing because it grows from the ground.

Location on the EarthLocation on the Earth
Grasslands aren’t located on a specific continent.
There is no specific latitude of longitude where Temperate or Tropical Grasslands form.
They are usually in the middle of a continent, not relativelyclose to a big body of water.

PositiveWe help re-grow this fire proof grass, preventing fires from traveling fast.

Negative We introduce too many new species.
We try to grow plants and crops that normally can’t grow ther.
We mine oil, which contaminates the grass around the mining drill.
