Über die lage des eurasiatischen Steppengebiets in dem system der pflanzengeographischen gliederung des aussertropischen Eurasiens

The author considers the steppe and forest-steppe areas of Eurasia as a special Eurasiatic steppe region. This region is incorporated into Mediterranean (or Ancient Mediterranean) subdominion of Holarctic dominion. Some botanists (M. G. Popov and others) regard the Eurasiatic steppe region as belonging to the boreal part of the Holarctis, that the author of this article considers to be erroneous. The article includes a list of numerous genera, subgenera etc., the distribution of which is mainly confined in the countries, situated within the Mediterranean subdominion and which are represented by different species in the steppe plant communities of the Eurasiatic steppe region.
