	Savanna Summary
		Zebras on the savanna in Masai Mara, Kenya.
		Savannas are sometimes a transitional zone, occurring between forest or woodland regions and grassland regions.
		Tropical and subtropical savannas are classified with tropical and subtropical savannas and shrublands as the tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands biome.

	Neotropical Grasslands: Habitat, Plants and Animals
		This xeropause, common to all savannas, may be accompanied by the opposite stress produced by an excess of water.
		The nutrient poverty of savanna soils is largely independent of the vegetation, since it is related in great measure to climate and soil formations.
		In contrast, another 800,000 square kilometers of well-drained savanna with micro-topography impractical to cultivation, and another 450,000 square kilometers in poorly drained savanna are unsuitable altogether.

	The Woodlands Inn
		Woodland management is the practice of managing woodlands, whether for the maximising of timber production, or for the conservation of wildlife.
		The Woodland Trust, established in 1972 in Grantham, Lincolnshire, is a conservation charity in the United Kingdom concerned with the protection and sympathetic management of native woodland heritage.
		The Woodland Trust uses its experience and authority in conservation to influence others who are in a position to improve the future of native woodland.

	Extent and Location of Savannas
		Savannas form a semicircle around the western central rainforest areas, bordered by the desert zones to the north and south, across a variety of soil conditions with rainfall ranging from 200-1800 mm.
		Savannas are mostly "secondary" or "derived" and are formed by deforestation, abandoned cultivation and burning, and maintained by repeated grazing, harvesting and burning.
		Savannas are fairly extensive in India and Sri Lanka, with continued forest clearing increasing their extent, although many areas are under threat from agriculture (Misra 1983; Yadava 1990; Backéus, 1992; Pandey and Singh, 1992).

	Tropical Savannas
		Savannas are characterized by a continuous cover of perennial grasses, often 3 to 6 feet tall at maturity.
		Furthermore, savannas may be distinguished according to the dominant taxon in the tree layer: for example, palm savannas, pine savannas, and acacia savannas.
		The pine savannas of Central America are examples of savanna vegetation developed on droughty, low-nutrient conditions of quartz sands; the grass savanna of the Serengeti--with its herds of large mammals--is virtually treeless.

	Tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands Information
		Tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands are a grassland biome located in semi-arid to semi-humid climate regions of subtropical and tropical latitudes.
		Rainfall in tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands is between 50 and 150 centimetres (20 to 60 inches) a year, and can be highly seasonal, with the entire year's rainfall sometimes occurring within a couple of weeks.

	Ecoregion
		Forests, grasslands (including savanna and shrubland), and deserts (including xeric shrublands) are distinguished by climate (tropical and subtropical vs. temperate and boreal climates) and, for forests, by whether the trees are predominantly conifers (Gymnosperms), or whether they are predominantly broadleaf (Angiosperms) and mixed (broadleaf and conifer).
		For example, a Temperate grassland or shrubland biome is known commonly as steppe in central Asia, savanna or veld in southern Africa, prairie in North America, pampa in South America and outback or scrub in Australia.

	PBS - Bill Moyers Reports: Earth on Edge - Grasslands Ecosystems
		Grasslands encompass the savannas of Africa, the grasslands of Australia, the cerrado and campo of South America, the prairies of North America, and the steppes of Central Asia.
		About 500 million hectares of tropical and subtropical savannas, woodlands, and open forest are burned each year.
		Overgrazing is also an important degrader of grassland condition, especially when livestock numbers are high, animals are confined to small grazing plots without rotation, vegetation is sparse, and soils are easily eroded.

	Top Literature - Global 200
		On the other hand, the WWF determined that a more comprehensive strategy for conserving global biodiversity should also consider the other half of species, as well as the ecosystems that support them.
		Several habitats, such as Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and shrub biome, were determined to be more threatened than tropical rain forests, and therefore require concerted conservation action.
		WWF maintains that "although conservation action typically takes place at the country level, patterns of biodiversity and ecological processes (e.g., migration) do not conform to political boundaries", which is why ecoregion-based conservation strategies are deemed essential.

	Savanna Management: from Reductionist Problem Solving to Systemic Problem Working through Diagramming
		The aim of the book is to look at savanna management across a gradient of complexity: from relatively simple problems to complex situations.
		This theme examines the interaction between humans and the environment in tropical savannas and dry woodland areas, interpreting savannas as integrated socio-ecological systems functioning at a range of temporal and spatial scales.

		The Cerrado (Portuguese: "closed" or "inaccessible") is a vast tropical savanna ecoregion of Brazil.
		The Cerrado is characterised by an enormous range of plant and animal biodiversity.
		The Cerrado is 1,916,900 km² (740,100 square miles) in size, covering the Brazilian states of Goiás, the Federal District, most of Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Tocantins, the western portions of Minas Gerais and Bahia, the southern portions of Maranhão and Piauí, small portions of São Paulo, Roraima and Paraná.

		While these woodlots often technically have closed canopies, they are so small that the penetration is such that they are ecologically more woodland than forest.

	RBGE: Research in neotropical seasonal environments
		Large areas of the tropics are subject to long dry seasons, and the forests and woodlands which grow in these areas are quite different from the rain forests which attract much greater attention from both scientists and conservationists.
		The largest single area of this forest is the Caatingas region which extends over 850,000 km2 of north-east Brazil, but similar vegetation is also found on many other areas where the soils are suitable, ranging in size from a few hectares to 40,000 km2.
		This savanna woodland is the natural vegetation of about two million km2 of central Brazil where it occurs on well-drained, infertile soils.

		The Cerrado is a region of extensive woodlands and savannas originally covering over 2,031,990 square kilometers on the Brazilian Plateau, and is the second largest ecosystem in Brazil, after the Amazon.
		However, today less than a quarter of the Cerrado remains, at 438,910 sq km, of which only 111,051 sq km are protected at all.
