Explores Plants And Animals Found In The Rich Grasslands Across The World. Supports Next Generation Science Standards.
Readers will learn about the two main types of grassland biomes, which are tropical grasslands (savannas) and temperate grasslands. The text will focus on the climate, plants, and animals that are found on grasslands around the world. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Abdo Kids is a division of ABDO.
Lions stalking through tall grass snakes slithering under shrubs giraffes munching on leaves Welcome to the grassland biome! With simple text and vivid photos, readers learn about what a grassland is, which plants and animals live there, differences between temperate and tropical grasslands, and the challenges that face grasslands today. A follow-up activity invites readers to do further research on a grassland animal and its role in this unique biome.
A comprehensive assessment of the effects of climate change on global grasslands and the mitigating role that ecologists can play.
This accessible text provides a concise but comprehensive introduction to the biology of global grasslands. Grasslands are vast in their extent, with native and non-native grasslands now covering approximately 50% of the global terrestrial environment. They are also of vital importance to humans, providing essential ecosystem services and some of the most important areas for the production of food and fibre worldwide. It has been estimated that 60% of calories consumed by humans originate from grasses, and most grain consumed is produced in areas that were formerly grasslands or wetlands. Grasslands are also important because they are used to raise forage for livestock, represent a source of biofuels, sequester vast amounts of carbon, provide urban green-space, and hold vast amounts of biodiversity. Intact grasslands contain an incredibly fascinating set of plants, animals, and microbes that have interested several generations of biologists, generating pivotal studies to important theoretical questions in ecology. As with other titles in the Biology of Habitats Series, the emphasis is on the organisms that dominate this environment although restoration, conservation, and experimental aspects are also considered.
This book is the most up to date and thorough account of the natural history of the plants that comprise the most important food crop on Earth, the grasses and grasslands.
