Detailed explanation-1: -Typically grasslands contain only grasses, such as swordgrass, whereas savannas support both grasses and widely dispersed trees; trees in these landscapes do not form a canopy as they do in forests.
Detailed explanation-2: -Temperate grasslands are drier than their savanna counterparts. The average rainfall remains around 10 to 30 cm each year. Savanna typically receives more rainfall; therefore, trees also grow here apart from grass. However, the tree covers are scattered and do not form canopies.
Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. Savanna is a treeless land covered with grass and with few trees scattered across the land, while grassland is a land filled with shorter vegetation, mostly grass, without any tall trees in the down.
Detailed explanation-4: -What is one important difference between savannas and temperate grasslands?-Temperate grasslands have nutrient-poor soil.-Savannas only rarely experience fires.-Temperate grasslands are mostly treeless.
Detailed explanation-5: -Temperate grassland mainly contains grasses, while temperate broadleaf forest includes deciduous forest with abundant moisture. However, the main difference is that temperate broadleaf forests receive more significant rainfall than temperate grassland.
