Forest steppe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forest steppe is an ecoregion of mixed forests and grasslands. A belt of forest steppes cross Eurasia from eastern Europe to Eastern Siberia, forming a transition between temperate broadleaf and mixed forests and temperate grasslands, while other forest steppe ecoregions are found in the mountains of the Iranian Plateau.
- East European forest steppe forms a transition between the Central European and Sarmatic mixed forests to the north and the Pontic-Caspian steppe to the south. It extends from Romania in the west to the Ural Mountains in the east.
- The Kazakh forest steppe lies east of the Urals, between the West Siberian broadleaf and mixed forests and the Kazakh steppe.
