Added 2022-07-18 00:58:49 +0000 UTCGrasslands occur naturally on all continents except Antarctica and are found in most ecoregions of the Earth. Furthermore, grasslands are one of the largest biomes on earth and dominate the landscape worldwide.
The semi-natural grasslands contain many species of wild plants, including grasses, sedges, rushes, and herbs; 25 plant-species per 100 square centimeters can be found.[8] A European record that was found on a meadow in Estonia described 76 species of plants in one square meterGrasslands support the greatest aggregations of large animals on earth.
In many parts of the world, "unimproved"grasslands are one of the most threatened types of habitat, and a target for acquisition by wildlife conservations groups, who are encouraged to manage them appropriately.
