Steppes of Mongolia

The Steppes of Mongolia are vast, treeless plains characterized by dry grasslands that stretch across northern Mongolia. These expansive landscapes are home to nomadic herders who traditionally raise livestock like horses, cattle, and sheep. The region's climate features hot summers and cold winters, with little rainfall, fostering hardy grasses suited for grazing. The steppes play a vital role in Mongolia’s culture and economy, serving as a historical heartland for nomadic lifestyles and showcasing rich biodiversity adapted to this rugged, open terrain.
