that is often converted to agricultural use: temperate grasslands.<\/p>\n[embed]https:\/\/vimeo.com\/464850760[\/embed]\n[embed]https:\/\/vimeo.com\/461868978[\/embed]\n<p style=\"text-align:

the grasses are often called meadows.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: right;\">We will have more on the term \"monocot\" (grasses) and large-flowered \"dicots\" in Guide 4A.<\/p>\n[embed]https:\/\/vimeo.com\/464602625[\/embed]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Temperate, meaning \"not too hot or too cold; not too hot or too dry,\" grasslands are typically found in climate conditions somewhere between a desert and a forest.\u00a0 Much of the swaths of temperate grasslands on this general biomes map have been converted to agricultural use.<\/p>\n<img
