What is an
Ecosystem?
An ecosystem is a biological community
wherein different types of animals/species
are able to interact with each other and live
side by side. Ecosystems have both biotic
and abiotic factors.

GRASSLANDS
ECOSYSTEM
Mostly consists of large open
areas of grass, herbs, and
shrubs. The prairies of North
America, the savannas of
Africa, and the steppes of
Eurasia are among the tropical
and temperate regions in which
they are found.
GRASSLANDS
ECOSYSTEM
Grasslands are characterized by
their open, flat, or curving
landscapes with few trees and are
typically found in areas with low
precipitation, which inhibits the
development of trees. Due to the
decomposition of grasses and other
vegetation, the soils in these areas
are typically abundant in nutrients.
GRASSLANDS
ECOSYSTEM
The climate of grasslands is
also distinct. Their climate
is generally seasonal, with
hot summers and frigid
winters.
Species that
reside within
Most species that live in grasslands are
mammals. Specifically the different species
of prairie dogs, bison, elk, deer, pronghorns
and rhinos. Birds of prey like Vultures and
Falcons, and carnivores like lions, wolves,
cheetahs, and leopards.
flowers that
reside within
Grasslands are also home to various plant
species, including wildflowers, herbs, and
grasses. Blue grama, buffalo grass, and big
bluestem are three of grasslands' most
prevalent grass species.
 BIOTIC
POTENTIAL AND
ENVIRONMENTAL
RESISTANCE Species with high biotic potential in the
grassland ecosystem include grasses and
small mammals like rodents, which can
reproduce rapidly and in large numbers.
However, environmental resistance factors
such as a lack of water and nutrients, seasonal
droughts, and wildfires restrict population
development in this ecosystem.
 BIOTIC
POTENTIAL AND
ENVIRONMENTAL
RESISTANCE Large mammals with slower
reproductive rates and higher energy
needs, like bison and antelopes, have
lower biotic potential. These species
are also more susceptible to predation,
which limits their population growth
even further.
 BIOTIC
POTENTIAL AND
ENVIRONMENTAL
RESISTANCE The grassland ecosystem generally
maintains a delicate equilibrium of biotic
capacity and environmental resistance.
While some species can flourish in this
environment, others are hampered by
factors such as resource competition
and predation.
Preserving the
Grasslands
The grasslands act as a home for other
casts and domesticated animals. It
protects the habitat of other animals,
plants, and other endangered species. It
provides a lot of resources and services as
it helps in maintaining the biodiversity of
our ecosystem.
 Ways on Preserving
the Grasslands
Supporting Conservation Efforts: Volunteering for restoration projects,
donating to conservation organizations, advocating for policies that
protect the grassland ecosystem.

Avoid Destroying Habitats: Limiting Industrial Agriculture, Urbanization,

and other harmful land-use practices.

Prevent illegal hunting: Enforce and Implement anti-hunting regulations.
