Climate
Because of their locations, the grasslands have all four seasons. In winter it can get to -17 degrees celsius and in summers it can reach up to 38 degrees celsius and over. The temperate grassland heats up very quickly. The falls and springs are shorter than the summers and winters.

Drought, Fire and Rainfall
Droughts are common in the temperate grasslands. When there is a drought, the plants can get water because of their long roots. The droughts also prevent trees from growing in the temperate grasslands.
Fire plays a big role in this biome. Lightning creates the fires and the fires help clear the ground and feed the soil.
Rain usually falls in the late spring and early summer. There is about 20 -30 inches of rain each year.
