Grassland refers to a large open area of country covered with grass, especially one used for grazing. It is characterized by the dominant vegetation of grasses, which may vary depending on the region and climate. Grasslands are found on every continent except Antarctica and include ecosystems such as savannas, prairies, steppes, and pampas. These areas support a variety of plant and animal species adapted to the conditions of open spaces and periodic fires. They are vital for grazing livestock and play a crucial role in the carbon cycle and biodiversity.
