The Savanna: Abiotic Factors

Temperature: 68 to 86Flittle variation Precipitation levels: 10-30 inches of rain annuallygreat variation throughout the yearmost rainfall in wet seasonSeasonality: the dry and wet season Dry: May to October Wet: December to MarchSoil conditions: porous, rapid drainage of waterconditions vary with locationElevation: near sea level to above 6000 ft. Humidity: low humidity for dry season high humidity for wet season

The Savanna: Biotic FactorsVegetation (tall grasses, shrubs, and trees)Large grazing herbivores, large carnivorous cats , and other meat eating creatures.mutual & parasitic relationshipRhinoceros, Egrets, and ticks
