	Savanna Animal Printouts - EnchantedLearning.com
		Savannas are located in the dry tropics and the subtropics, often bordering a rainforest.
		The animals that live in savannas have adapted to a great deal of variability in the food supply throughout the year; there are times of plenty (during and after the wet season) and times of almost no food or water (during the dry season).
		Savannas are located in Africa, Madagascar (an island off the east coast of Africa), Australia, South America, India, and the Myanmar-Thailand region of Southeast Asia.

	Savanna - MSN Encarta
		Savannas may result from soil conditions, from periodic fires caused by lightning or set by humans, or from climatic influences.
		Climatically determined savannas, as found in western and southwestern Africa, develop in regions with marked wet and dry seasons, where rainfall ranges between 100 and 400 mm (4 and 16 in) a year.
		These savannas vary from open-canopied forests with a grassy understory to true savannas in which grasses are dominant.

	San Diego Zoo's Animal Bytes: Savanna
		The word savanna comes from the 16th-century word zavanna, which means “treeless plain.”; However, the term is used to describe a more varied habitat, made up of large expanses of grasses, often one or two species that create a continuous carpet, interrupted by scattered shrubs and trees.
		Savannas occur where there isn’t enough rain to support a tropical rain forest, but there is enough to keep it from becoming a desert.
		The savanna is home to large herds of grazing animals and the predators that follow them.

	Earth Floor: Biomes
		The tropical savanna is a biome characterized by tall grasses and occasional trees.
		Savannas exist in areas where there is a 6 to 8 month wet summer season and a dry winter season.
		Savannas can result from either climate, soil conditions, animal behavior, or agricultural practices, which limit the occurrence of trees.

	World Biomes: Savanna Biome
		The Savanna biome is associated with climates having seasonal precipitation accompanied with a seasonal drought.
		Savannas, like those found in Venezuela and Brazil, develop on soils that have a hard crust and are subject to cracking.

	The grassland biome
		Savannas are always found in warm or hot climates where the annual rainfall is from about 50.8 to 127 cm (20-50 inches) per year.
		The soil of the savanna is porous, with rapid drainage of water.
		For example, in drier savannas such as those on the Serengeti plains or Kenya's Laikipia plateau, the dominant grasses on well-drained soils are Rhodes grass and red oat grass; throughout the East African savannas, star grasses are dominant; the lemon grasses are common in many western Uganda savannas.

	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.

		A savanna is a rolling grassland scattered with shrubs and isolated trees, which can be found between a tropical rainforest and desert biome.
		Plants of the savannas are highly specialized to grow in this environment of long periods of drought.
		Huge areas of savanna are lost to the Sahara desert every year because of overgrazing and farming.

	Oak Savanna
		An oak savanna is a community of scattered oak trees (Quercus spp.) above a layer of prairie grasses and forbs.
		The savanna is a transition ecosystem between the tallgrass prairie and woodland environments, so it is an important habitat for both woodland and prairie animals and insect species.
		Oak savannas are important because they are beautiful, dynamic environments with diverse plants and animals that have evolved complex relationships over time.

	Savanna Oak Foundation, Inc
		We have defined an oak savanna as "a plant community with scattered 'open-grown' oaks." Other terms sometimes used are "oak opening" and "oak barren." In contrast to an oak forest, which has a closed canopy (approaching 100%), the savanna canopy ranges from about 10% to 60%.
		Although at one time oak savanna was one of the most common vegetation types in southern Wisconsin and throughout the Midwest, today it is exceedingly rare.
		The principal savanna area was is on the upper south slope and the ridge top, where many large open-grown bur oaks are present.

	Savanna Biome
		The Savanna Biome is the largest Biome in southern Africa, occupying 46% of its area, and over one-third the area of South Africa.
		Conservation of savanna is good in principle, mainly due to the presence of the Kruger and Kalahari Gemsbok National Parks within the biome.
		However, this high area conserved in South Africa, belies the fact that half of savanna vegetation types are inadequately conserved, in having less than 5% of their area in reserves.

	Unasylva - No. 94 - The role of tree plantations in savanna development
		Within the former northern region of Nigeria, whose boundaries correspond approximately to those of the savanna, about 16 percent of the land is in crops or fallow, 37 percent is described as forest and 46 percent as uncultivated bush pasture and wasteland; 9.2 percent of the land is in forest reserves.
		One of the principal problems in surveying savanna soils for future plantation establishment is the lack of adequate indicators, visible on the ground or from aerial photographs, for delineating the areas of different soils, particularly as to depth.
		When savanna trees are cut and burned on the planting site, tree growth on the places where burning occurred is usually much superior to that on unburned areas; there are places, however, where the concentration of ash prevents the establishment of plants for several years.

	The Presettlement Piedmont Savanna
		Such areas could be described as a savanna or park, glade, or forest edge, and they would have been rich in variety and numbers of species.
		If such is the case, early humans, and thus their modern day descendants, would prefer the spatial arrangements and visible attributes of the savanna where the open grassland offers unimpeded prospect and forest edge or groups of trees offer the opportunity to take refuge.
		The park-like appearance of the savanna is often mentioned as ideal.

	Savanna Baboon
		Hamadryas and gelada baboons are still more terrestrial and subsistent on grasses, but replaced by savanna baboon everywhere they formerly ranged except for most arid parts of northease Africa (hamadrayas), and cold montane grasslands of the Ethiopian Highlands.
		Although estrous females tend to be sexually receptive to dominant males, especially macho male immigrants, those that associate with females regularly at other times enjoy privileged status It turns out that each female has I to 3 favorite males she roosts with at night, socialgrooms with, and stays near while foraging.
		All the adult males join forces; their readiness to cooperate in defending the troop is the reason baboons can wander the savannas with impunity, even in the presence of lions.
