What is savanna ecosystem?

A savanna ecosystem is a type of grassland ecosystem characterized by a mixture of grasses and scattered trees. Savannas are typically found in tropical and subtropical regions with a seasonal climate, where there is a distinct wet and dry season. The vegetation in savannas is adapted to periodic droughts and fires, with grasses and shrubs dominating the landscape. Savannas are home to a diverse range of wildlife, including large herbivores such as elephants, giraffes, and zebras, as well as predators like lions and cheetahs. Savannas play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity and providing ecosystem services such as carbon storage and water regulation.
