The major rangeland types of the world are grasslands, desert shrublands, savanna woodlands, forests, and tundra. Each of these rangeland types has several unique plant associations that host a variety of different biota depending on the climate, soils, and human influences. The type of rangeland must be considered when planning management activities because they differ in precipitation, soils, and terrain. Therefore, management practices that work well in one region may be unsuitable for another region.
