Adaptations are special features that allow a plant or animal to live in a particular place or habitat. These adaptations might make it very difficult for the plant to survive in a different place. This explains why certain plants are found in one area, but not in another. For example, you wouldn't see a cactus living in the Arctic. Nor would you see lots of really tall trees living in grasslands.

Now let's work our way up to the next step of the food chain, focusing on the organisms that eat the plants: insects. In the grasslands, for instance, grasshoppers are insects who eat plants.]]> 2018-06-25 19:44:39 UTC https://padlet.com/368876/5r0g0zhckxerghgh/wish/268505827 368876 https://padlet.com/368876/5r0g0zhckxerghgh/wish/268506373 Climate. Temperate grasslands have hot summers and cold winters. Summer temperatures can be well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, while winter temperatures can be as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit. They typically have between 10 and 35 inches of precipitation a year, much of it occurring in the late spring and early summer.]]> 2018-06-25 19:50:33 UTC https://padlet.com/368876/5r0g0zhckxerghgh/wish/268506373 368876 https://padlet.com/368876/5r0g0zhckxerghgh/wish/268507238
