An abiotic factor is a nonliving condition which impacts an environment and can influence the way an organism lives.
Abiotic Factors in the Savanna:
Weather:
A day during the winter/dry season provides a fairly cool temperature.
A day during the summer/rainy season is humid and very wet.
Climate:
Generally, Savannas a warm temperature environment all year long, with an average temperature of about 64 ° F. Savanna's are a cross between a desert and a rainforest and are generally found in between them. A savanna has a larger amount of vegetation than what would be in a desert, and receives more rain than a desert, however not as much to be considered a rainforest.
Soil:
During the dry season, the soil becomes infertile causing many small plants and grasses to die.
During the the wet season, the soil becomes very fertile because of the constant grazing of herbivores in the environment, therefore these organisms leave behind nutrients and the small plants and grasses are able to replenish themselves.
Water Availability:
In the winter/dry season water is fairly limited in the savanna.
In the summer/wet season water is fairly plentiful which allows small plants and grasses to grow.
