The Alpine Steppe is in the Tibetan Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China. It is the Earth's most important grazing ecosystem of 1.65 million square kilometers. The highest grasslands in the world.
The area of Karakoram-West Tibetan Plateau alpine steppe is 143,300 square kilometers.
Countries with significant steppe regions include Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russia, Ukraine, and parts of China and Argentina. Steppe is characterized by vast grasslands with few trees and is found in regions with dry, continental climates.
The Kirghiz Steppe is primarily located in Kazakhstan, Central Asia. It is a vast grassland region covering parts of Kazakhstan, Russia, and China.
It is called "The Steppe," or sometimes, "The Eurasian Steppe." It stretches from Ukraine, through Russia and Kazakhstan, all the way to Mongolia and China.
Countries where you can find steppe landscapes include Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Ukraine, and parts of China. Steppe regions typically have vast, treeless plains with grasslands and are characterized by a dry climate with hot summers and cold winters.
There are two type of steppes:- An alpine-steppeis a high altitude natural grassland which receives very little rainfall. Extremely cold temperatures and sparse vegetation make the Central Tibetan Plateau Alpine Steppe ecoregion inhospitable to human communities. Not only are there no farmers in this region, but there also aren't any nomadic herders such as those found in other parts of the Tibetan plateau. Instead, this dry alpine region provides lots of undisturbed and safe habitat for great herds of wild Tibetan antelopes (chirus), blue sheep, Tibetan gazelles, and other grazing species, as well as the predators that feed on them. The Tibetan Plateau , also known as the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is a vast, elevated plateau in Central Asia covering most of the Tibet Autonomous Region and Qinghai Province in China and Ladakh in Kashmir, India is one example of an alpine steppe.On an average, 25 to 50 mm of rains per year.Shrub-steppe is a type of low rainfall natural grassland sedge and rush families can also be found here. Shrub-steppes are distinguishable from deserts, which are too dry to support a noticeable cover of perennial grasses or other shrubs, while the shrub-steppe has sufficient moisture levels to support a cover of perennial grasses or shrubs. Rainfall is less than 7 inch per year
The 2 key landforms that China has mountains and desserts. The Gobi desert and Himalayan Alpine range are the key landforms.
Desert climate is like the steppe climate except that the steppe has more rainfall. There is also some grass in the steppe.
"Steppe" is literally pronounced as the word "step".
The steppe was quite a sight even in a distance!
