 temperate grasslands, savannas, and shrublands - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
Temperate grasslands, savannas, and shrublands is a group of biomes in which the climate is temperate to semi-arid.
Grasslands are characterized by grasses and other erect herbs, usually without trees or shrubs.
Temperate grasslands occur in the dry temperate interiors of continents.

 Europe's biodiversity - biogeographical regions and seas - The Boreal biogeographical region - EEA
The Boreal region is characterised by a striking contrast between increasingly large and heavily urbanised areas, situated mostly along the coasts and in the lowland plains along major rivers and lakes, and the vast forest dominated areas with a diminishing population.
The Boreal biogeographical region is a transition zone from the climatic extremes of the Arctic region to milder regions of Europe.
In most of the boreal forest ecosystems, nutrients tend to be tied up in organic components of the ecosystems, either as live biomass in the dominating forest trees or as partially decomposed dead organic matter in litter and peat.

Once different vegetation types (ie, broadleaf trees, tropical forests, savannah and grasslands) are integrated into the dynamic of climate change, there is a very different climate story from that when life is left out of the equation.
Because the boreal forests are quick to shed winter snow on account of their shape, thereby exposing their dark needles to the rays of the spring sun.
In contrast to the snow-covered tundra and swamps, boreal forests warm themselves and their surrounding environment when all around is cold.
