Savannas are areas of open grassland with dispersed trees. Learn all about the savanna biome, including wildlife, climate, vegetation, and more.

For example, across the global tropics, forest, and savanna biomes are both observed in regions that receive between 1000 and 2500 millimeters of annual precipitation.

Climate change, land use and other human-driven factors could pit savannas and forests against each other by altering the elements found by Princeton University researchers to stabilize the two.

Deforestation is amplifying climate change effects in the Brazilian Cerrado savanna biome, making it much hotter and drier. Researchers observed monthly increases of 2.24°C (4.03°F) in average ...

Climate change threatens to push endemic species in the Cerrado, Brazil’s vast tropical savanna, into extinction while allowing the spread of species already commonplace elsewhere, a new study says.
