Grassland Vegetation

precipitation levels, grasslands are very vulnerable to climate change. Extreme
changes to temperature or rainfall can have devastating effects on the regional
vegetation, and as a result, the wildlife in the area.

percent of the Earth's land surface and dominate regions with limited rainfall,
preventing forest growth. It is the result of nearby mountain ranges that cause
rain shadows over adjacent open rangelands.
