Stepa Eurasia

Stepa Rusia di Oblast Orenburg

Stepa Eurasia, juga dinamakan Stepa Raksasa atau stepa, adalah stepa luas kawasan ekologi dari Eurasia di bioma padang rumput, sabana, dan semak beriklim sedang. Stepa ini membentang dari Rumania, Moldova melewati Ukraina, Rusia, Kazakhstan, Xinjiang, dan Mongolia menuju Manchuria, dengan sebuah eksklave utama sebagian besar terletak di Hungaria, yakni Stepa Pannonian.[1]

Stepa ini telah menghubungan Eropa Timur, Asia Tengah, Tiongkok, Asia Selatan, dan Timur Tengah secara ekonomi, poliitk, dan budaya melalui rute perdagangan darat, terutama Jalur Sutra semasa Era Klasik dan Abad Pertengahan, dan Jembatan Darat Eurasia pada era modern. Stepa ini telah menjadi rumah bagi imperium nomaden dan banyak konfederasi suku bangsa besar dan negara-negara kuno sepanjang sejarah, seperti Xiongnu, Skithia, Kimmeria, Sarmatia, Kekaisaran Hun, Chorasmia, Transoxiana, Sogdiana, Xianbei, Mongol, dan Kekhanan Göktürk.
