| Cold temperate steppe: growing season. Steppes tend to get their precipitation spread out over the whole year, so rains rarely build on each other. Biological productivity is much lower than tropical grasslands that get the same precipitation in a four-month summer growing season. On the cold steppe, cool temperatures and a short growing season also limit productivity. | ||||
