Savanna Biome
Climate
rainy season
approx. 30-40in
significant precipitation
plant adaptations
rapid growth
store excess water in deep roots
some only produce leaves during wet season
68-86 degrees F
higher temperatures
dry season
50-68 degrees F
lower temperatures
approx. 4in or less
little precipitation
plant adaptations
use deep root systems water supply during lack of water
shed leaves during drought
small leaves to minimize water loss
dormant during droughts
ecosystem
open thick grassland
scattered trees and shrubs
vast
periodic fires
plant adaptations
deep root systems allow quick regrowth after fires
water and nutrients stored in deep roots and trunks
small leaves to minimize water loss during fires
becoming dormant during droughts when fires typically occur
fire-resistant seeds that germinate after exposure to heat allowing rapid repopulation
location
tropical region
close to the equator
warm/hot during all seasons
