Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the savanna biome, frequent fires actually limit the growth of trees and encourage the growth of grasses, as grasses have evolved to quickly regrow after fires. Trees are typically more vulnerable to fires and therefore have developed adaptations to survive, such as thicker bark or the ability to resprout from the base. Without fires, however, trees can outcompete grasses and transition the savanna into a forested ecosystem.
