In this video, we're going to talk about temperate grasslands, which, as their name implies, are found in temperate regions of the globe right around 35 degrees latitude. Sometimes they're referred to as prairies in North America and steppes in Europe and Asia. As their name also implies, they're going to be dominated by vast expanses of grasses, and they have high annual temperature variation with really cold winters and really hot summers, as you can see in this climate graph down below. Also, they have only moderate amounts of rainfall throughout the year, not enough rainfall to support significant tree growth. So, significant tree growth is actually inhibited by the relatively dry conditions from only moderate amounts of rainfall, but also inhibited from periodic wildfires as well.

So this here concludes this video, and I'll see you all in our next one.
