The Steppe biome is a dry, cold grassland located between deserts and forests with warm summers and very cold winters. It experiences long droughts, violent winds, and grass fires during hot summers. Many grazing animals like horses and antelopes live in herds with burrows to avoid predators in the open landscape. However, the Steppe biome is endangered due to farming, oil drilling, and habitat loss that reduces the natural grasslands.

1. THE STEPPETHE STEPPE

2. Basic Characteristics
●
The Steppe biome is a dry,
cold, grassland There isn't
much humidity in the air
because Steppe is located
away from the ocean and
close to mountain barriers.

5. Where it is located?
●
The Steppe biome is
usually found between
the desert and the forest.
If it got more rain, it
would become a forest. If
it got less rain, it would
become a desert.

8. Climate
●
Steppe has warm summers and really
cold winters. There is often a lot of
snow in the northern Steppes. All the
Steppes experience long droughts and
violent winds. Sometimes the summers
are so hot that the grasses catch on fire.
That is more dangerous than usual
because the grass is so dry so it spreads
quickly.

12. Animals
● A lot of the animals that live in Steppe are
grazing animals, such as rabbits, mice,
antelopes, horses, etc. Smaller animals
have little defense from predators. Since it
is such an open environment and
predators can find animals fast, they either
form herds or make burrows. There are
many endangered animals on the Steppe.
More and more people are trying to
protect them.

14. Plants and Problems to live there
●
Very few people live in the Steppes
climate because it's only grass and it
has very few other traits. Farmers
would have a hard time growing
crops because the soil is so poor and
its so cold. There is also a lot of wind
in the Steppe because there are few
trees.

17. Problems of Steppes
● A true natural grassland is becoming
harder and harder to find because
people are taking them over. They
are plowing the grass for farming and
digging holes in search of oil. The
Steppe biome is becoming
endangered, just like the animals.
