Which of the following grasslands is found in New Zealand?

Which of the following grasslands is found in New Zealand? Correct Answer Canterbury

Grasslands occur where there is insufficient regular rainfall to allow forest growth but not so little that a desert develops. Grasslands are frequently found between woods and deserts.

Important Points

  • The Canterbury-Otago tussock grasslands are a portion of New Zealand's broader tussock grasslands ecoregion in the South Island.
  • On these grassy plains, there are few endemic plants. While there was undoubtedly forest once, the plains of New Zealand are today unique in that they are a wide region of grazing almost totally covered in drought-resistant grasses that are constantly threatened by fire.
  • In many regions, endemic tussock grasses like slender snow tussock have been replaced by introduced pasture grasses.  

Additional Information

  • The Downs is a grassland in Australia.
  • The Pampas are a grassland biome in South America.
  • Veld, which in African languages means "field," has become a vernacular phrase for "worked land."

Hence, Canterbury grasslands are found in New Zealand.
