Compare and contrast savannas and grasslands

The grasslands are defined as a biome that is mainly comprised of grasses and absence of woody plants and shrubs. The grassland areas are the regions where the amount of rainfall is comparatively less than the savannas. Due to this, the grasses are short in this region.

On the other hand, Savannas are also defined as a biome that is composed of grasses but they also contain a good number of woody plants and shrubs. These trees or the shrubs generally have a tendency to be mostly oriented along the river channels. These areas receive a higher amount of rainfall, as a result of which the grasses in this region are comparatively higher than the grasses in the grasslands.

Both these biomes together comprise nearly 5% of the earth's surface and form a total of about 23% of the earth's total terrestrial biome composition.
