Temperate grasslands have a temperate continental climate, which is cooler
than savannas. Temperate grasslands have warm, humid summers with an
average temperature of 18° C and cool, dry winters with an average
temperature of 10° C. Most of the rain falls as convection rain in the
Summer and sometimes frost and snow may occur in the winter.

Vegetation of the Grassland

They are only grass and some small
shrubs in the grassland. Due to this the
animals there are usually either burrows
or relatively small.
Human Impact


The positive-There really isn't any positive impact that I could find in the
grassland.

destroyed some of there habitats into almost extinction . Some animals
were killed for meat, fur or in the case of elephants there tusks.
