Grasslands are areas where the vegetation is dominated by grasses (Poaceae), however sedge (Cyperaceae) and rush (Juncaceae) families can also be found. Grasslands occur naturally on all continents except Antarctica. Grasslands are found in most ecoregions of the Earth.For example, there are five terrestrial ecoregion classifications (subdivisions) of the temperate grasslands, savannas, and shrublands biome (' ecosystem '), which is one of eight terrestrial ecozones of the Earth's surface.otable tropical and subtropical grasslands include the Llanos grasslands of South America. Mid-latitude grasslands, including the Prairie and Pacific Grasslands of North America, the Pampas of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, calcareous downland, and the steppes of Europe.
Grassland biomes are ecosystems in which the predominant vegetation type consists of various grasses rather than trees or large shrubs. Grasslands may be divided into several types, including savannas, temperate grasslands, tallgrass prairies, steppes, alpine tundra and flooded grasslands, among others.The type of grassland that occurs in a particular region is based on the latitude, terrain, local climate, precipitation and wildfire regime.emperate grasslands lack the scattered trees that are characteristic of savannas. Temperate grasslands have distinct hot and cold seasons and a moderate amount of precipitation in the late spring and early summer.
