Tropical and subtropicalgrasslands, savannas, and shrublands are a grassland terrestrial biome located in semi arid to semi humid climate regions of subtropical and tropical latitudes . Grassland s are dominated by grass and other herb aceous plants. Savanna s are grasslands with scattered tree s. Shrubland s are dominated by woody or herbaceous shrub s.

Montane grasslands and shrublands is a biome defined by the World Wildlife Fund . The biome includes high altitude montane , subalpine , and alpine climate alpine grassland s and shrubland s around the world. Montane grasslands and shrublands located above the tree line are commonly known as alpine tundra , which occurs in mountain regions around the world. Below the tree line are subalpine and montane grasslands and shrublands. Stunted subalpine forests are known as krummholz , and occur just below the tree line, where harsh, windy conditions and poor soils create dwarfed and twisted forest s of slow growing trees. Montane grasslands and shrublands, particularly in subtropical and tropical regions, often evolved as virtual islands, separated from other montane regions by warmer, lower elevation regions, and are frequently home to many distinctive and endemic ecology endemic plants which evolved in response to the cool, wet climate and abundant tropical sunlight. Characteristic plants of these habitats display adaptations such as rosette structures, waxy surfaces, and hairy leaves. A unique feature of many wet tropical montane regions is the presence of giant rosette plants from a variety ... , and Argyroxiphium Hawaii .

The Ethiopian xeric grasslands and shrublands ecoregion is a semi desert strip on or near the Red Sea and the Gulf of Oman coasts in Eritrea , Ethiopia , Djibouti and Somaliland . Location and description Semidesert grassland and shrubland covers an area mainly from sea level to 800 m inland from the coast of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Oman along the coast of Eritrea, south through Ethiopia and Djibouti and a narrow strip along coast of Somaliland . The ecoregion includes a number of islands such as the Dahlak Archipelago , offshore from the Eritrean port of Massawa , and inland some higher hills, and in the south the desolate Afar Depression , location of the ghost town made of salt, Dallol . The ecoregion is vulnerable to earthquakes and includes a number of active volcanoes. The area is hot and dry with little rainfall, especially near the coast, temperatures range from 21 to 30 degrees Celsius 70 to 85 F . The strip of coast in southern Eritrea and northern Djibouti has been separated out as the Eritrean coastal desert , especially as it is the site of a large migration of birds of prey. Flora The plant life of the region needs more study, which has been hampered by long term political strife in the region. Endemic flora includes a Dracaena plant dragon tree Dracaena ombet .

The Subtropical Antechinus is found south from Gympie in Queensland , Australia , to the far northeast of New South Wales , where it is essentially restricted to sub tropical vine forest below 1000 m elevation. It is difficult to distinguish it from its close relatives, but its significant features include a long and narrow muzzle and a generally mid brown colour. It is the largest of the Brown Antechinus complex. It mainly eats insects and after mating all of the males die of stress related diseases, like many other species in this family. ref name Menkhorst cite book last Menkhorst first Peter year 2001 title A Field Guide to the Mammals of Australia publisher Oxford University Press page 252 ref References reflist Dasyuromorphia D.D.
