History of the Steppe Introduction Geography. The Steppe (aka the Eurasian Steppe) is a vast strip of land stretching from Ukraine to Mongolia. The term steppe denotes grassland: a low-precipitation region with enough rain for grass, but not enough for trees (see Climates and Biomes).
The steppes are what Mongolia is best known for. Endless expanses of grass cover much of eastern Mongolia, extending in a narrow band all the way to the west. Although the steppes are large and open, they are not empty; much of this area is grazed by livestock owned by nomadic herders.ers, Arkhangai Aimag. In the central Mountain Forest Steppe region the Siberian forests (taiga) meet the central Asian steppe. Stands of Larch and Birch on northern slopes and grass covered southern slopes are characteristic of this area.
