VEGETATION
Strong winds and constant wildfires discourage tree growth.
Due to the fire damage plants have adapted to re-grow very quickly, with a waxy coating. That helps them cope with the dry periods by trapping the water in the plant itself.
Acacia trees are another type of famous plant that have adapted to the savanna and adapted to store water within its thorny bark. And can live without water for 11 months.

HUMAN IMPACT ON THE BIOME
Negative Effects: Humans poaching the animals of these
biomes for their resources Humans being in the biomes, increases the
chance for wildfires to start and spread Humans moving through and destroying
the land and turning it into farm areas and living areas

HUMAN IMPACT: CONTINUED.
Positive? There is hardly any, we’re destroying these
biomes and the best thing would be for us to just leave them alone and let them be
