Grassland soil

1. Argentina - pampas Australia - downs Central North America - plains and prairies Hungary - puszta New Zealand - downs Russia - steppes South Africa - veldts

2. Soil Type Grasslands have deep soils that are very nutrient rich because of the large amount of plant tissue ('biomass') that dies off and is added to the soil through decomposition every year This is why grassland is often converted into farmland

3. Temperate grassland Soil contains a large proportion of clay More moisture

4. Savannah The soils are low in nutrients Mostly sand
