meadow steppe
meadow steppe A variant of Eurasian steppe adjacent to the forest to the north, and comprised primarily of various sod-forming grasses and subordinate tussock grasses. The grasses grow to over a metre, and associated with them are broad-leaved flowering herbs, the whole giving a meadow-like aspect in summer. Meadow steppe has long been greatly reduced in extent by agricultural practices.
