The Savanna biome covers 20% of Earth's land surface; contributes 30% of terrestrial net primary production (NPP) ([ 1 ][1], [ 2 ][2]) (equivalent to the contribution of tropical forests); and accounts for 85% of the global area of land burnt annually ([ 3 ][3]).

Abstract Great herds of wildebeest, big cats, the great tuskers and the all but extinct rhino are the images that epitomize the savannas of Africa. The savannas of Africa are occupied by the earth’s’ richest and most spectacular large mammal fauna, a sizable proportion of which is found in East Africa. The diverse topography and geology,

Abstract Constant change is the driving force in the history of savannas, and some conception of the future can be gauged from evidence of past changes and from trends experienced today. The potential futures for savanna landscapes may be depicted as two interconnected sets of processes: variations caused by natural events including ...

Abstract What are savannas and where are they? ‘Savanna landscapes’ considers these dynamic and diverse biomes—the most widespread form of vegetation in the tropics and sub-tropics. They are areas covered by a nearly continuous grassy layer, interspersed with trees and shrubs of varying densities and heights, but their nature and ...

The savanna biome represents the complex of vegetation made up of grassland with trees in varying densities and arrangements that occupies the transition zone between forests and grasslands. Whereas the lay observer could usually identify a forest or grassland, the savanna biome would provide a challenge, greatly influenced by the scale of observation,
