The proper and exact meaning of the word meadow is that which refers to a group of meadows. By amplification, the definition is handled to give a name to the grass-lined part of the field and to a large plain. The grasslands is a habitat that is located primarily in the quiet areas of the planet, such as a large fraction of the United States, the Argentine Pampas, certain areas of Brazil, central Europe, Australia and southern Africa. Although grasslands are defined by having a temperate temperature at large phases, this does not mean that there will be no diversifications depending on the region where it is located, obtaining samples of tropical grasslands and cold grasslands on planet Earth.
Prairie also is a biome developed by a vegetation of low persistence of herbs and shrubs, reeds or grasses that unfolds in a mild temperature and appreciates a long warm in summer and cold in the winter season. All these plants flourish in great diversity, despite the fact that the naked eye does not perceive much difference between them, as can be seen in other more fruitful and abundant ecosystems. The trees and tall foliage are not typical of this habitat, at the same time being largely suppressed by man to be used for profit as food for livestock. These customs affect the natural proportion.
The meadows are perhaps one of the most suitable environmental environments and geographical spaces for man and that is why most of the meadows are the seat of farms and other producing modules that are based on the presence of livestock.
Temperate grasslands absorb rainwater throughout the year, between 25 to 75 centimeters of water. They have less dense foliage and at times are only a few millimeters. They enjoy two seasons of depreciation; one of lethargy, that is, that the grass does not grow because of the cold and another of constant development.
Tropical prairies are those that during the year maintain their temperatures moderately warm, having two kinds of seasons, one of rain and the other dry.
