The term 'Steppe' refers to a specific type of biome.
Steppes are large areas of flat, unforested grassland found in temperate regions with semi-arid climates.
They are characterized by grasses of short to medium height and are found in regions with cold winters and warm to hot summers.
The great Eurasian Steppe is a vast expanse of grassland that stretches from Eastern Europe through Central Asia.
Tropical grasslands are known as 'Savannas' and have scattered trees. Steppes are typically treeless.
Therefore, the 'steppes' in Eurasia are temperate grass lands.
