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.
Rainfall: Rainfall is generally less in temperate grasslands than in tropical savannas, although drought usually plays less of a roll effecting biodiversity than it does in savannas. Rain usually falls in temperate grasslands in the late spring and early summer.There is an average of 20 â 35 inches of rainfall a year.lowing of grasslands, combined with wind has lead to huge dust storms, such as those which created the Great Dust Bowl in the American Depression of the mid 1920s. Finally, in dryer areas, overgrazing and salt build-up from irrigation of the land have turned these areas into near-wastelands.
