Résumé
A steppe is a biogeographic formation made up of vast grassy plains and characterized by low relief and an arid continental climate. Made up of grasses and a few rare woody plants, it differs from grasslands in that its vegetation cover is of lower density and lower height. Steppes are found in North and South America and southern Africa, however the largest in the world covers much of central Eurasia, hence the name, which derives from the Russian word step’.
