Being eco-friendly includes recycling, but there are other ways to guard the planet's health. In recent years, terms like going green and eco-friendly have become buzz words on talk shows, commercials and product packaging. The term eco-friendly has been used for so many different products and practices, its meaning is in danger of being lost.
The abiotic factors of temperate grasslands include low rainfall, moderate humidity, large temperature differences between winter and summer, seasonal fires and rich nutrients in the soil's upper layers. Temperate zones are regions between the tropics and poles, and abiotic factors are an ecosystem's nonliving parts.
The main temperate grasslands are the steppe in Eurasia, the prairies of North America, the downs of Australia and New Zealand and the pampa of Argentina. Temperate grasslands produce plants with long, extensive roots that dig deep into the mollisol (soft, nutrient-rich) soil.he temperate grasslands are often very colorful. Most temperate grasslands are inland and are therefore much windier with tornadoes, bursters, northers, burans, and chinooks. Temperature extremes are wider than anywhere in the world, but annual rainfall averages from 12-20 inches.
