The Altai montane forest and forest steppe represents a significant ecological transition zone spanning across Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and China. This ecoregion features a unique landscape where forests gradually give way to expansive steppes within the Palearctic region. It’s notable for harb...
The Khangai Mountains forest steppe is an ecoregion in central Mongolia centered on the Khangai mountain system. It forms a transition between the colder Siberian taiga to the north and Mongolia's drier grasslands and desert regions to the south. Its landscape is a mosaic of mountain grassland and f...
Why this score
Distinctive forest and grassland mosaic, strong wildlife value, and scenic mountains; overgrazing and comparatively limited global recognition constrain consensus.
Scoring methodology
The Selenge-Orkhon forest steppe is a terrestrial ecoregion designated as PA0816 by the World Wildlife Fund. Spanning the river basins of the Selenge and Orkhon rivers, it covers regions of northern Mongolia and adjacent areas of southern Russia. The area represents a critical ecological transition...
The Mongolian-Manchurian Forest Steppe is a temperate ecoregion forming a transition zone across Mongolia, China, and Russia. It is characterized by a distinct mosaic of woodland and grassland, supporting species adapted to both forest and open steppe environments. This landscape provides crucial ha...
Why this score
Large transitional ecosystem with notable biodiversity and cultural importance; extensive habitat conversion, grazing pressure, and fragmentation weaken its standing.
Scoring methodology
The Trans-Baikal Forest Steppe is a distinctive ecological region located in southeastern Siberia, Russia, primarily east of Lake Baikal. Characterized by a unique mosaic of grasslands interspersed with larch and pine forests, this transitional zone represents the meeting point between the taiga to...
Why this score
Scenic woodland-steppe mosaic, migratory wildlife, and substantial intact habitat earn respect despite fires, logging, and regional obscurity.
Scoring methodology
The Elburz Range forest steppe is a montane ecoregion located along the Alborz mountain range in northern Iran, just south of the Caspian Sea. Characterized by a dramatic altitudinal gradient, the region transitions from steppe vegetation at lower elevations to subalpine forests consisting of oak, j...
The Kopet Dag woodlands and forest steppe is a terrestrial ecoregion designated PA1008 by the WWF, located along the Iran-Turkmenistan border. It is characterized by montane juniper woodlands and forest-steppe vegetation on the Kopet Dag mountain range. The ecoregion supports a number of endemic pla...
The Zagros Mountains forest steppe is a temperate broadleaf and mixed forest ecoregion spanning the Zagros mountain range across eastern Turkey, northern Iraq, and western Iran. It is characterized by semi-arid climate conditions and open woodlands predominantly composed of Persian oak. This rugged...
The East European forest steppe is a temperate broadleaf and mixed forests ecoregion located in Eastern Europe. It acts as a transitional ecotone stretching from eastern Europe through Ukraine and into the Ural Mountains of Russia. The region is characterized by a mosaic of grasslands and broadleaf...
The Krasnoyarsk forest steppe is a forest steppe landscape in central Siberia around Krasnoyarsk and the Yenisei River. It forms a mosaic of open grassland, cultivated land, and wooded areas rather than a continuous forest or treeless steppe. Its position between more densely forested taiga and drie...
Why this score
Notable Siberian ecological transition with diverse habitats; urban and agricultural pressure diminish natural character.
Scoring methodology
The West Siberian Forest Steppe is a broad ecological transition zone on the West Siberian Plain, between the northern taiga and the drier grasslands farther south toward Kazakhstan. Its mosaic of birch and aspen groves, open grasslands, meadows, lakes, and wetlands reflects the region's continental...
Why this score
Productive forest-grassland mosaic with meaningful biodiversity, but extensive conversion and limited iconic status constrain its consensus score.
Scoring methodology
The Achinsk Forest Steppe is a named forest-steppe landscape in the area around Achinsk in Krasnoyarsk Krai, in central Siberia. It occupies a transition between the more continuous forest zones of Siberia and the open steppe, combining wooded areas with grassland rather than belonging wholly to eit...
Why this score
Productive forest-steppe with regional biodiversity importance; agricultural alteration and limited distinctive reputation suppress ratings.
Scoring methodology
The Selenga-Orkhon Forest Steppe is a WWF ecoregion extending across north-central Mongolia and northeastward into Russia along the Selenga River basin. It lies between the Siberian taiga and the open steppe, producing a landscape of conifer forests on wetter north-facing slopes, pine and aspen stan...
The Kansk Forest Steppe is a transitional landscape in Krasnoyarsk Krai, central Siberia, where open grassland and patches of forest occur together. It occupies the eastern part of the Kansk-Rybinsk Basin around the city of Kansk and is treated as a forest-steppe region because its vegetation combin...
Why this score
Ecologically valuable Siberian forest-steppe mosaic; low public visibility and extensive modification limit wider appreciation.
Scoring methodology
The Kuhrud-Kohbanan Mountains forest steppe is a montane ecoregion of central Iran. It occupies mountain ranges and upland valleys separated by arid desert basins, creating a transition between desert environments and higher-elevation woodland. Its characteristic vegetation includes open stands of p...
