	Map - Grasslands and Aridity Zones (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Twenty-eight percent of the world’s grasslands are found in the semi-arid zones, 23 percent in the humid zone, 20 percent in the cold zone, and 19 percent in the arid zone.
		Montane grasslands and shrublands are found primarily in the cold aridity zones in mid-latitude, high-altitude areas; tundra is found primarily in the cold aridity zones at northern latitudes.
		Grasslands are least represented in the dry sub-humid zone and the hyper-arid zone, which is dominated by the Sahara Desert and Arabian Peninsula.

		For example, the various types of grasslands are dominated by a variety of annual and perennial species of grass, while deserts are occupied by plant species that require very little water for survival or by plants that have specific adaptations to conserve or acquire water.
		Grassland mammals are dominated by smaller burrowing herbivores (prairie dogs, jack rabbits, ground squirrels, and gophers) and larger running herbivores such as bison, pronghorn antelope, and elk (Figure 15).
		The montane grasslands and shrublands biome is found at high elevations in temperate, subtropical, and tropical climates.

		Temperate grasslands are mid-latitude grasslands, including the Prairie of North America, the Pampa of Argentina, calcerous downland, and the steppes of Europe.
		They are classified with temperate savannas and shrublands as the temperate grasslands, savannas, and shrublands biome.Temperate grasslands are the home to many large herbivores.
		As the grasslands offer much food, but little shelter, there is not a large concentration of animals anywhere.

		Deserts and xeric shrublands receive an annual average rainfall of ten inches or less, and have an arid or hyperarid climate, characterized by a strong moisture deficit, where annual potential loss of moisture from evapotranspiration well exceeds the moisture received as rainfall.
		Plants and animals in deserts and xeric shrublands are adapted to low moisture conditions.

		For the time being, high-altitude montane forests, grasslands, and heathlands are relatively well protected, but as land is lost at lower elevations, agricultural lands are encroaching higher into these areas.
		Since the Highveld Grassland is one of the best areas for farming in South Africa, much of this habitat has been converted for agriculture.

		Although protected areas cover large swaths of montane habitat in this ecoregion, the most important ecological areas are not protected, and nature conservation has been given a low priority.
		Population and grazing pressures exert enormous pressure on the region, and people still use the land within protected areas for grazing livestock, collecting firewood, cutting trees, and hunting illegally.
		And high prices for cashmere wool have encouraged increased grazing of goats, which are particularly damaging to the grassland habitat.

		On the Australian mainland, the Australian Alps montane grasslands are surrounded at lower elevations by the Southeast Australia temperate forests ecoregion.
		At the highest elevations, these mosaics may give way to a fjeldmark or, in zones where snow lies into the summer months, to a snow patch community.
		The shrubs senesce after 40 to 50 years, leaving a closed canopy.
