Steppe

Apis cerana encompass a wide range of climatic zones including moist tropical rainforests, wet-dry tropical savannas, mid-latitude steppes, dry mid-latitude grasslands, moist continental deciduous forests, and taigas.

It is a bovid, and the smallest member of the genus Oryx, native to desert and steppe areas of the Arabian Peninsula.

Artemisia herba-alba, the white wormwood, is a perennial shrub in the genus Artemisia that grows commonly on the dry steppes of the Mediterranean regions in Northern Africa (Saharan Maghreb), Western Asia (Arabian Peninsula) and Southwestern Europe.

These requirements can be provided in a wide range of ecosystems, and as a consequence the hoopoe inhabits a wide range of habitats such as heathland, wooded steppes, savannas and grasslands, as well as forest glades.

The dholes also once inhabited the alpine steppes extending into Kashmir to the Ladakh area, though they disappeared from 60% of their historic range in India during the past century.

Nephrotoma and Tipula larvae are found in dry soils of pasturelands, lawns, and steppe.

It grows in tundra, coniferous forest, grassland, sagebrush steppe, and other habitat types.

Marsh frogs inhabit water bodies in many types types of habitat up to an altitude of 2,500 m (8,200 ft), including forests, grasslands, steppes and even deserts, colonising dry areas via river channels and valleys.

It also utilizes heaths, dunes, moors, and can be found in the steppe.

Hemiechinus auritus has a range that extends from the eastern Mediterranean region, through the arid and steppe areas of Asia to western Pakistan in the south; and from eastern Ukraine through Mongolia (Gobi desert), to China (Xinjiang).

In its native steppe habitat, European hare populations are spread apart; they average roughly 2 individuals per 100 hectares.

During winter, shrub-steppe habitats seem to encourage a strong dependence on rabbit prey.

Breeding habitat used in Russia are similar, though they can be found nesting in less likely habitat such as steppe and even semi-desert, so long as water is near.

It is a rather small shank, and breeds in open grassy steppe and taiga wetlands from easternmost Europe to the Russian Far East.

The greater blind mole-rat is known from the steppes of Ukraine and from southern Russia between the Dnieper and the Volga rivers.

Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca exhibits even greater plasticity, occurring in stands of interior temperate rainforest in British Columbia, as well as at the edge of semi-arid sagebrush steppe throughout much of its range, where it generates even deeper taproots still.

Typical habitats include savannah, forest steppe, open steppe, semidesert, maquis shrubland, and related shrubland types such as fynbos and chaparral.

Sandy or loamy arable soils in Britain ... Also found on saline steppes in Europe
