  The grassland biome
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.
Temperate grasslands are characterized as having grasses as the dominant vegetation.
