A forest-steppe belt is a region of forest steppe.
The largest steppe and (forest-steppe) belt is the Eurasian steppe belt which stretches from Central Europe via Ukraine, southern Russia, northern Central Asia, southern Siberia, into Mongolia and China,[1] often called the Great Steppe.
The term "steppe belt" may also be applied to some grassland zones in biogeographical zoning of mountains.
