The Baraba steppe or Baraba Lowland[1] (Russian: Барабинская низменность), is a plain in western Siberia.[2] It is named after Baraba Tatars, its indigenous inhabitants.
The Baraba Lowland is an important Russian agricultural region.
Geography
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. Barabinsk is the largest city in the lowland.
Lakes Chany, Ubinskoye, Sartlan, Tandovo, and Zharagash are located in the Baraba steppe.[2] The Kulunda Plain extends to the southeast. The border between both areas is not well defined.[3]
