Baraba Steppe

[2] It is named after Baraba Tatars, its indigenous inhabitants.

The Baraba Lowland is an important Russian agricultural region.

[vague] It stretches for 117,000 km2 (45,000 sq mi) across the Omsk and Novosibirsk oblasts between the Irtysh and the Ob Rivers.

Grassland steppe landscapes predominate, as well as sphagnum bogs and Solonchak grounds, although there are remnants of wooded areas.
