Very little to no trees are there in the steppe. The region lies in between the tropical and polar regions. In this region, a temperate climate can be observed. Due to this climate, the weather here becomes semi-arid. Every single year this part of the world receives only 25 to 50 centimeters of rain. This is the reason why no large trees grow in the steppe as there is a lack of water that plants require to grow. Only small grasses grow in some parts of the steppe. If an oasis is present, then date palms grow around that.
