Steppe - Two Types of Steppe

Two Types of Steppe

Two types of steppe can be recorded:

  • Temperate steppe: the "true" steppe, found in continental areas of the world; it can be further subdivided as seen here
  • Subtropical steppe: a similar association of plants that can be found in the driest areas with a Mediterranean-like climate; it has usually a short wet period

Peculiar types of steppe include shrub-steppe and alpine-steppe.
