Adaption

Adaption- Animals that live in the grasslands have many advantages and are able to acquire resources like water found in difficult places, for example by

using adaption. Animals adapt to the grassland habitat with evident strategies for shelter and

to protect themselves from danger where there are little places to hide. Many grassland animals are able to run very quickly.

In addition, living in herds, or in large groups, is safer than being alone because if not, then it would be easier for predators to kill.

Abiotic

Abiotic- It can cause animals to migrate to warmer climates or even where there is better feeding. It also

affects them by helping them adapt to new surroundings.

Biotic

Biotic- Overgrazing severely hurts the entire grassland biome.

Overgrazing happens when the biome has too many animals in an area. It diminishes plants which decreases

the plants ability to be able to use the sun to grow. Therefore plants get weak and their roots become

shorter. During dry weather, the plants with short roots will not be able to stay alive because they can’t absorb minerals

they need.

Decomposer

Decomposer- Algae can decompose dead organic compounds and can also acquire

energy.
