The alpine-steppe ecoregion is a high altitude natural grassland, in the montane grasslands and shrublands biome. The alpine-steppe receives very little rainfall.
Example
The Tibetan plateau is one example of an alpine steppe.[1] It has an average elevation of over 4,500 meters and receives, on average, 25 to 50 mm[2] of rain per year.[3]
