The grassland biome, distinguished by its expansive open areas primarily covered in grasses and sporadic shrubs, plays an essential role in maintaining the Earth's ecological balance. These regions, present on every continent except Antarctica, are influenced by a blend of factors including climate, soil type, and the occurrence of fire. Grasslands typically receive moderate rainfall, which, while insufficient to sustain dense forests, supports a vibrant array of grasses, wildflowers, and herbivorous animals. Grasslands are crucial for agriculture, offering rich soils ideal for crops and grazing for livestock. Unfortunately, they are increasingly threatened by urban development, agricultural expansion, and climate change, highlighting the urgent need for conservation to protect biodiversity and ecological integrity.
