Line 1:
The '''North Saharan steppe and woodlands''' is a [[desert]] ecoregion that forms the northern the northern edge of the Sahara, next to the [[Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and shrub]] ecoregions of the Mediterranean [[Maghreb]] and [[Cyrenaica]]. Winter rains sustain shrublands and dry woodlands that form a transition between the [[Mediterranean climate]] regions to the north and the hyper-arid [[Sahara desert (ecoregion)|Sahara]] proper to the south. It covers 1,675,300 square kilometers (646,800 square miles) in [[Algeria]], [[Egypt]], [[Libya]], [[Mauritania]], [[Morocco]], [[Tunisia]], and [[Western Sahara]].
