Grassland Communities

Grassland Communities is a rangeland plant community type characterized by a dominance of herbaceous grass species and adapted to semi-arid to temperate climates, distinguishing it from other rangeland communities by its minimal woody plant cover and reliance on periodic disturbance regimes such as grazing or fire to maintain structural composition.
