Savanna Biome

Savanna The savanna is a tropical biome monopolized by grasses, shrubs, and small trees. It's grassland cover western India, northern Australia, South America, and other parts in Africa. In this biome it is very warm, there is little precipitation so there is not a lot of tall trees more like shrubs and bushes. A savanna is categorized between a tropical rainforest and a desert biome it is right in the middle of them. Savannas are created when humans burn grasslands and cut down trees kind of like slash and burn process to plant crops. An interesting fact about the Savanna biome is that its soil is very diverse every type of soil used for agriculture has been found there. Due to the prolonged dry and wet climate the availability of food
There are herds of zebras, elephants, giraffes, ostriches, gazelles, and buffalo. The herbivores depend alot on the plants and trees of the savanna so they are very dependent of each other. Of course when there is herbivores there has to be carnivores or a term you would know not the prey but the predator. There are many of them roaming the savanna including hyenas, lions, cheetahs, leopards, black mambas, and wild dogs. To avoid these predators animals have developed skills such as using speed to outrun them, using their height to spot them from far off, and using their strength to fight them off. However, these carnivores have their own skills as well the cheetah with a running speed of 70 miles per hour to catch its prey and also many of these predators like lions work in groups to trap the weaker animals. Now the climate is extremely hot and dry how do these animals manage to survive and live there? the answer is adaptation. Different species have adapted to eating different plants not only plant wise but height wise. Some more animals are the caracal, chacma baboon, egyptian mongoose, emu, koala bear, nigriceps ants, and the nile
Some biotic factors are producers such as bermudagrass, jarrah tree, and river bushwillow which make energy from the sun which is sugar by the process of photosynthesis which primary consumers feed on. Primary consumers are animals such as zebras, elephants, and antelope who are herbivores that the secondary consumers who are carnivores feed off. Then there are your tertiary consumers a lion who is a carnivore as well that consumes both secondary and primary consumers. Last are decomposers such as mushroom, insects, and microorganisms that break down any remains of dead organism to gain energy as well for plants. Abiotic factors are are non-living chemical and physical parts of the environment that affect living organisms and the functioning of ecosystems. A savanna’s abiotic factors are weather, climate, soil, and water availability. Weather because it is hot and dry and this dries out water and plants leaving animals to migrate and have to come back until after it has rained or until the temperature is wet. Soil because although there is a diversity of it no crops can be grown only plants because it is not rich enough. The worst abiotic factor would have to be water availability many plants die off due to the lack of water now some store it but others can’t and many rivers dry up leading the animals
