The term 'South African Grassland' refers to three distinct types of grassland found in South Africa: VELDT, velds, and VELD. VELDT is a type of open grassland found in the highveld regions of South Africa, characterized by tall grasses and shrubs. Velds is a type of grassland found in the lowveld regions of South Africa, characterized by shorter grasses and fewer shrubs. VELD is a type of grassland found in the midveld regions of South Africa, characterized by a mix of tall and short grasses and shrubs. All three types of grassland are important habitats for many species of wildlife.
