- (A) Savannas are warm year-round with a prolonged dry season and
scattered trees. The environment is intermediate between grassland and
forest. Savannas consist of grasslands with stands of deciduous shrubs and
trees that do not grow more than 30 meters high. Trees and shrubs generally
shed leaves during the dry season, which reduces the need for water. Food is
limited during the dry season so that many animals migrate during this
season. Soils are rich in nutrients. Savannas contain large herds of grazing
animals and browsing animals that provide resources for predators.
