The total area of the region is 2,154,005 km2, characterized mostly by extensive lowland regions to the north and north-east and with considerable mountainous regions in the central (Carpathians) and the southern (Balkan mountains, Crimean mountains) parts of the region. The region experiences a cool continental climate with increasing Mediterranean influence to the south (Peel et al., 2007). Based on the European Environmental Stratification system provided by Metzger et al. (2005), most of the Eastern European plains and lowlands and the uplands and low mountains of the Balkan Peninsula are situated in the Continental Environmental Zone (CON), naturally dominated by deciduous, mixed and coniferous forests. In the lowland regions, grasslands were formed on fine or coarse-grained alluvial and fluvial deposits and are characterized by the high influence of large rivers and their tributaries.

In geographic terms, this means Europe, Africa north of the Sahara and the Mediterranean, temperate, boreal and arctic zones of Asia (Fig. 2.1). The realm currently comprises circa 9.7 million km2 grasslands, which correspond to 22 per cent of its total area (Table 2.1) and thus the largest amount and likely also the biggest share of grasslands among all biogeographic realms. These grasslands are partly natural, partly secondary, that is, anthropogenic. In any case, they are of high ecological and economic importance, but at the same time subject to various severe threats. Here we introduce the Palaearctic section of Grasslands of the World. Apart from this introductory and synthesis chapter, the section consists of seven regional treatises, roughly arranged from the west to the east (Fig. 2.1): Western and Northern Europe (Dengler and Tischew, 2018), Eastern Europe (in the socioeconomic sense) (Török et al., 2018), the Mediterranean Basin and the Middle East (Ambarlı et al., 2018), Russia (Reinecke et al., 2018), Kazakhstan and Middle Asia (Bragina et al., 2018), China and Mongolia (Pfeiffer et al., 2018) and, last but not least, Japan (Ushimaru et al., 2018). These chapters have been organised by the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group (EDGG), an international scientific network, which deals with ecology, biodiversity, conservation and management of all types of natural and semi-natural grasslands throughout the Palaearctic biogeographic realm (Box 2.1).","PeriodicalId":302240,"journal":{"name":"Grasslands of the World","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128343022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
