A steppe belt is a contiguous phytogeographic region of predominantly grassland (steppe), which has common characteristics in soil, climate, vegetation and fauna.[1] 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.
