		Although the term savanna is believed to have originally come from an Amerindian word describing "land which is without trees but with much grass either tall or short" (Oviedo y Valdes, 1535), by the late 1800s it was used to mean "land with both grass and trees".
		Native Americans created subtropical savannas by periodic burning in some areas of the US southeastern coast where fire-resistant Longleaf Pine was the dominant species.
		The highland savannas of the Angolan scarp savanna and woodlands ecoregion are an example.

		Other aspects are soil characteristics, as well as other physical parameters which might influence the quality of the environment: it might be related to substrate condition (due to periodic flooding for example) or altitude.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Guayaquil flooded grasslands (NT0905)
		This tropical grassland is dominated by semi-aquatic grasses and scattered with palms.
		This ecoregion is periodically flooded by the Guayas River, creating large areas of open water that attract numerous aquatic birds.
		Though rare in western South America, flooded grasslands are essential to the life cycles of many creatures that rely on them as breeding or nesting grounds, or as seasonal rest areas.

		Dams dry out downriver habitats, permanently flood upriver habitats, increase the number of fires, spread exotic vegetation, and lead to increased salinity of freshwater habitats.
		Many of the floodplains of this region are largely untouched, but habitat loss is on the rise because of river damming and increased farming.
		Human-induced fires help maintain open grasslands but often encroach into forested areas and result in slowly shrinking forest patches and fragments.

		Tsessebe (Damaliscus lunatus), which are mostly restricted to seasonally flooded grasslands, are known to follow the receding waters in the dry season and to retreat to higher ground when the waters rise.

		Flooded Grasslands and Savannas, also known as "Wetlands", are habitats that are covered for at least part of the year by water.
		The water that floods these habitats may come from rain, tidal flows, flooding rivers, or groundwater.
		These include the Everglades in Florida; the Pantanal area of Brazil (the planet's largest tropical wetlands spanning 250,000 square kilometers); the Sahelian savanna in Nigeria and Chad (Africa); the Sudd region of the Sudan (Africa); and the Zambezian Flooded Savannas in Tanzania and Zambia (Africa).

		The Pantanal comprises a mosaic of flooded grasslands and savannas, gallery forests, and dry forests.
		What's more, the floods in the Pantanal reduce the severity and the frequency of floods downstream along the Río Paraguay, where they could do more damage to human communities.

		Moving from the interior of the swamps, the ecological zones grade from the open-water and submerged vegetation of a river-lake, to floating fringe vegetation, to seasonally flooded grassland, to rain-fed wetlands and, finally, to floodplain woodlands (Hickley and Bailey 1987).
		Welcomme (1979) estimated that only 11% of the total flooded area was permanent water, although this proportion may have increased in recent years.
		It is a simplification of White’s complex vegetation mosaic for the area that includes ‘edaphic grassland mosaics with semi-aquatic vegetation’ and ‘edaphic grassland in the Upper Nile basin’.
