The Savannah (Savanna) is the vast open country of the tropics composed of a patchwork of trees and shrubs on a bed of grass. It is a result of the tropical wet and dry seasons that cycle through the tropics year after year - the Tropical Savannah Climate.
In this video on biogeography we take a close look at the Savannah Biome. What is the Savannah? What makes it that way? And what countries have the Savannah?
The Savannah Biome dominates the continent of Africa at the centre of our world but is also found in Brazil, Australia, India and the Caribbean. 🌎🌍🌏
Of all the world’s habitats, this one supports the earth’s most famous fauna and wildlife. This is the home of the safari of the Masai Mara of Kenya, the Serengeti of Tanzania and the Kruger National Park of South Africa. 🐗🦘🦒🐘🦛🦏🦓🐆

@@Geodiode People like it that much? That's good. With everything going on in Africa (politics, neo eastern colonialism through financial power, and systemic instability etc)Costa Rica has become both our short term goal for the next 3-5 years and a real possibility that we might not be able to go to Kenya. I hesitate to make a 20 year investment if everyone I know is leaving a place due to it getting bad/rough. I think the only negative thing I've heard about Costa Rica is that Americans miss the convenience or busy factor of North America and go back for what's more comfortable. For us wanting to have an off grid eco village though and have a large permaculture garden property it's not too big of a deal. Also, lot more likely to get tourists in Costa Rica than in a village in remote Kenya... I know Mombasa is popular in Kenya though. land is shockingly expensive and hard to acquire in Kenya... like more expensive than the US (and good luck finding more than like 2 acres)

The large mammals of other regions (of which there used to be a number of species) are gone now unfortunately, it's basically just the African ones that remain. Mammoths, sabre tooth tigers, giant sloths, among others are all gone. One of my favorite biomes is the mammoth steppe, which is what used to cover much of today's boreal forests of the northern regions during the previous glacial periods. It supported much more life back in the day according to some estimates in comparable amounts to today's tropical savannahs, though that seems strange so far north to me. Interesting to see some projects attempting to restore parts of it with large animals still remaining.

Check out my videos on Population Size and Density by climate zone. Tropical Savannah and Monsoon climate areas are close to the top in terms of population, and so on that basis you can conclude they are very productive in terms of agriculture.

@zakariyaabdullahi2802 2 жыл бұрын

@@muniaisworthit The soil is only not fertile because of the heavy rain/flooding that occurs in the rainy season washing all the nutrients in the soil away in certain areas. I assume with proper irrigation canals dug and other earthworks to slow and hold the water to prevent surface runoff, the soil would be very fertile.

The Sydney region should have been highlighted as a savannah. The Cumberland Plain Woodland in Sydney is a classic eucalyptus savannah with vast grasslands and scattered trees. I think it's understandable why it wasn't highlighted because Sydney is surrounded by Temperate Broadleaf and Mixed Forests (i.e. The Blue Mountains).

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Scrub is more tied to Mediterranean climates. Whereas Grasslands are somewhat disconnected from climate, and can occur in Humid Subtropical, Oceanic and Continental climate zones. It seems to be more about a historical battle between grasses and trees dominating a particular region, that both could occupy.
