☼Grasslands are extremely hot during the summer months and very cold during the winter months. The grasslands receive anywhere from 10-30 inches of rain per year.☼
☼This table compares rainfall in the grasslands to other biomes☼
☼Sometimes the summer are so hot that the grass catches on fire very easily. Fires are very often seen during these hot summer months. These fires are dangerous because they spread through the dry grass very quickly.☼
☼During the winter, on some grasslands, the snow might be so high that is comes up over you head.☼
☼Grasslands are places with hot, dry climates that are perfect for growing food!☼
☼Precipitation in the temperate grasslands usually occurs in the late spring and early summer. The temperature range is very large over the course of the year. Summer temperatures can be well over 100 degrees. While winter temperatures can be as low as ?40 degrees.
☼Calcification is the dominat soil-forming process in semiarid regions. Mild leaching, high organic content, and concentration of calcium carbonate in the B horizon typifies the dark brown mollisols developed under the temperture grasslands. When this process works on a loess that itself is rich in calcium, the world?s most fertile soils are created, the chernozems ( a russian term meaning black soil). Loess and hence cherozem inderlie the easter prairies of the US, the pampas of South America, and the steppes of Ukraine and Russia.☼
☼There are not many tall tress or bushes in the grasslands, because there is just not enough water for them to live. Also, there is to much wind on the prairie for tall trees to
survive.☼
