They have adapted to withstand the dry climates of the grassland. ]]> 2019-04-24 20:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/s1598871/icw9zsm3kibo/wish/353905613 s2035698 https://padlet.com/s1598871/icw9zsm3kibo/wish/353905848 Grasslands have a wide range of temperature, going from -40 Fahrenheit all the way to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature is heavily affected by the season, with cold winters and blazing summers.]]> 2019-04-24 20:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/s1598871/icw9zsm3kibo/wish/353905848 s1900220 https://padlet.com/s1598871/icw9zsm3kibo/wish/353905852 Grasslands are large terrains in which the vegetation is dominated by grasses. Several factors such as latitude, soil and local climate determine the types of plants that grow in a particular grassland. ]]> 2019-04-24 20:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/s1598871/icw9zsm3kibo/wish/353905852 s1603088 https://padlet.com/s1598871/icw9zsm3kibo/wish/353905887  The soil of grasslands is dark and deep, with fertile upper layers.It is filled with nutrients from the growth and decay of deep, many-branched grass roots. The rotten roots give food to plants and support the dirt in place.]]> 2019-04-24 20:01:47 UTC https://padlet.com/s1598871/icw9zsm3kibo/wish/353905887 s2035698 https://padlet.com/s1598871/icw9zsm3kibo/wish/353906120 Grasslands typically have from 10 to 35 inches of rain each year. Most of the rain however, falls during the late spring, which leads to droughts and wildfires during the summer. ]]> 2019-04-24 20:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/s1598871/icw9zsm3kibo/wish/353906120 s2035698 https://padlet.com/s1598871/icw9zsm3kibo/wish/353908451 About Grasslands- https://defenders.org/grasslands/temperate-grasslands

They need little to no water for a whole day. They also have sandy fur to help as camouflage. ]]> 2019-04-24 20:12:29 UTC https://padlet.com/s1598871/icw9zsm3kibo/wish/353908822 s1900220 https://padlet.com/s1598871/icw9zsm3kibo/wish/353910209 Grasslands occur naturally on all continents except Antarctica. ]]> 2019-04-24 20:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/s1598871/icw9zsm3kibo/wish/353910209 s1900220 https://padlet.com/s1598871/icw9zsm3kibo/wish/353912241 Parasitic- When a bird lays it's eggs in another bird's nest, the bird who owns the nest then has to raise the birds while the real parent doesn't have to do anything. Then, the population of the species in which the parent and eggs belong to goes up, while the other might even go down or stay the same.
Commensal - A cattle egret and insects is an example of a commensal relationship. As the cattle graces on the land, eating the grass, it disrupts the insects that live on the ground. When the insects try to scatter, the egrets take advantage and eat them.
Mutualism - A bird eats ticks from a buffalo. Both the bird and the buffalo benefit because the buffalo is tick-free and the bird gets a meal
