Grassland soil

Japanese: 草原土壌 - そうげんどじょう
Grassland soil
Soil found in grasslands. Outside the world's forested areas, trees cannot grow due to dry, cold climates and sometimes excess moisture, and instead annual or perennial herbs, mainly grasses, grow over a wide area, forming a plant community known as grassland. Grassland soils are distributed over a wide area, reaching an estimated 30 million km2 , or about 25% of the land area. The world's most representative grasslands are the steppes that spread across the dry areas inside the Eurasian continent, and include the prairies of North America, the pampas of Argentina, and the pusta of Hungary.

Japanese:
草原地帯に分布する土壌。世界の森林地帯の外側には気候条件が乾燥や低温,ときには水分過剰のために樹木が生育できず,イネ科植物を主体とする一年生または多年生の草本が広い範囲で生育し草原とよばれる植物群系を形成している。草原土壌の分布面積は広く,陸地面積の約25%にあたる3000万km2に達しているといわれている。世界の代表的な草原はユーラシア大陸内部の乾燥地に広がるステップで,北アメリカのプレーリー,アルゼンチンのパンパ,ハンガリーのプスタもこれに属するものである。
