Grasslands are considered the
"transitional" biome. This means that grasslands are usually found
between the desert and the forest. It would become a forest if
grasslands received more rain. If it received any less rain, it would
be a desert.
True prairies and grasslands are becoming
harder and harder to find. People are taming the wild lands, and the
grasslands are becoming as extinct as the animals that are missing from
them today.
In Africa, national parks are being set
up to preserve the grasslands. This will help the animals such as lions
and elephants as well.
The United States is starting to perserve the wild grasslands, too. It is even replanting grass where it has been cleared for farming.
