  • Savanna Ecosystem: Definition, Characteristics & Key Features
    A flat open grassland with scattered trees and shrubs is called a savanna.

    Savannas are characterized by:

    * Grassland: The dominant vegetation is grasses, typically tall and dense.

    * Scattered Trees: Trees are present but not densely packed, allowing sunlight to reach the ground.

    * Shrubs: Shrubs may also be present, adding to the diverse plant life.

    * Dry Season: Savannas experience a distinct dry season, which can be quite long.

    * Warm Temperatures: Savannas generally have warm temperatures year-round.

    Examples of famous savannas include:

    * The African Savanna: The most well-known, home to iconic wildlife like lions, elephants, and giraffes.

    * The Brazilian Cerrado: A vast savanna in South America.

    * The Australian Outback: Includes large savanna areas with unique flora and fauna.
