Zusammenfassung

Unter Savannen und Trockenwäldern werden hier die tropischen und subtropischen Gehölz- und Graslandformationen zusammengefasst, die deutliche Trockenperioden im Jahresverlauf aufweisen und im Wesentlichen den Übergang zwischen den immerfeuchten Tropen und den Wüstengebieten im Bereich der Wendekreise bilden. Temperate und mediterrane Grasländer und Gehölze, die im englischen Sprachraum teilweise zu den Savannen gestellt werden (z. B. die Eichen-„Savannen“ Kaliforniens oder am Ostrand der Great Plains), werden hier nicht eingeschlossen.
