The Siberian steppe is a vast, treeless plain located in Siberia, a region in northern Russia. This area is characterized by its dry climate, with cold winters and warm summers, making it a unique ecosystem. The steppe is primarily covered with grasses and shrubs, providing habitat for various wildlife, including wolves, foxes, and numerous bird species. The Siberian steppe plays a significant role in the region's agriculture, supporting grazing for livestock. It is also important for its natural resources, including minerals and fossil fuels. The steppe's expansive landscape has been shaped by both natural processes and human activities over time.
