Steppe region

The Steppe region is a vast area of flat, grass-covered plains found mainly in parts of Eurasia and Central Asia. It has a semi-arid climate, meaning it receives moderate rainfall, enough for grasses but not forests. These plains are important for agriculture, grazing, and historically served as migration routes for nomadic peoples. The landscape supports grasses, herbs, and some shrubs, making it ideal for livestock like sheep and horses. The Steppe's open terrain influences local weather patterns and has played a significant role in shaping the cultures and economies of the regions it covers.
