Question

Grasslands never have trees. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F

Answer 1

It is false that grasslands never have trees. Trees can also be seen even though rarely, and can be in groups that are a little far from other small groups.

Explanation:

Grasslands or meadows are areas where undergrowth is dominated by grass (Poaceae); nonetheless, the rush family (Juncaceae) and sedge family (Cyperaceae) can also be found along with varying proportions of legumes, such as clover and other plants. Grasslands appear naturally on all continents except Antarctica. Grasslands or meadows are found in most parts of the earth’s ecoregion.

For instance, there are five classifications of terrestrial ecoregions (subdivisions) of savannahs, medium grasslands, and bush biomes (ecosystems), that is one of eight terrestrial eco-regions. Meadows that are dominated by unknown wild plant communities ("untreated grasslands") can be called natural or "semi-natural" habitats. The majority of grasslands in temperate zones are "semi-natural".

There are many types of grassland:

• Schimper (1898)

Grassland types by Schimper (1898, 1903):

• savannah (xerophilous grassland containing isolated trees)

• steppe (xerophilous grassland)

• meadow (hygrophilous or tropophilous grassland)

• Ellenberg and Mueller-Dombois (1967)

Grassland types by Ellenberg and Mueller-Dombois (1967):

• Savannas and associated grasslands (tropical or subtropical parklands and grasslands)

• Formation-class V. Terrestrial herbaceous communities

• Meadows, pastures or related grasslands

• Steppes and related grasslands (e.g. North American "prairies" etc.)

• Herbaceous and half-woody salt swamps

• Sedge swamps and flushes

• Forb vegetation

• Laycock (1979)

Grassland types by Laycock (1979):

• shortgrass prairie;

• tallgrass (true) prairie;

• shrub-steppe;

• high mountain grassland.

• mixed-grass prairie;

• annual grassland;

• desert (arid) grassland;

• Other

• Montane

• Temperate

• Tropical and subtropical

• Tundra grasslands

• Flooded

• Desert and xeric

Answer 2

The statement is - F (False).

Trees can be found in the grasslands. Even though the grasslands are dominated by grasses, be it short or high ones, trees can also be seen, but they are rare, and can either be in a group of few on big distance from another little group, or can be single trees and very big distances from one another so most people get the impression that there's no trees at all at the grasslands. Examples of trees in grasslands can be seen all over the world, be it in the African grasslands, the Central Asian, or Brazilian ones, there's trees, usually in different numbers, densities, and types, but they are part of the landscape.
