Natural grasslands are found in many parts of the world, including the prairies of North America, the savannas of Africa, and the pampas of South America. These grasslands are home to a wide range of plants and animals, including grasses, wildflowers, and a variety of wildlife species.
Grasslands can be divided into two main types: temperate grasslands and tropical grasslands. Temperate grasslands are found in regions with cooler temperatures and are characterized by grasses such as bluegrass and buffalo grass. Tropical grasslands, also known as savannas, are found in regions with warmer temperatures and are characterized by grasses such as elephant grass and red oat grass.
Grasslands play an important role in the environment, as they provide habitat for a wide range of plants and animals and are also important for carbon sequestration and other ecosystem services. However, grasslands are under threat from a variety of factors, including land development, urbanization, and overgrazing, and efforts are being made to conserve and protect these ecosystems.
Here at Beyond Buckthorns we keep a Grasland / Orchard combination in Zone 3.
