Explanation:

Due to continentality these regions are far from moderating influence of oceans and hence display extreme annual range of temperature.
The precipitation is low and mainly convectional in nature (during summer months) and due to low rainfall, long draughts and severe winters, trees are practically absent.
These grasslands are famous for animal rearing and extensive cultivation of wheat. In most of these grasslands the original grasses have been replaced by alfa alfa grass that is more nutritious for the cattle.
