The attempt to analyze morphological, genetic, and typological landscape-analogs in Steppe Eurasia enveloping the vast transcontinental space of Inner Eurasia from the Danube basin to the Amur River basin has been made for the first time in the paper. Despite considerable provincial differences of a latitudinal row of steppe and forest-steppe regions connected with a degree of climate continentality, geological-geomorphological peculiarities, high altitude of low-laying, elevated and upland plateau-like plains within the all steppe Eurasian space, thanks to the comparative-geographical method, we can define landscape-analogs of a different type that are distant from each other at thousands kilometers. Steppe landscapes of Eurasia have a long and rich history of economic development, having the standard features of zonal nature management, anisochronous in time for hundreds, sometimes thousands, years. Steppe nature management experience in different longitudinal sectors can be used to solve zonal ecological problems of which countries and regions of Steppe Eurasia have met.
