The country has three vegetation zones: mixed forests in the north; beech, silver birch and oak forests in the center; and black-soil steppes in the south. The main rivers are the Dnieper, which runs from north to south in the center of the country, and the Dniester, which forms part of the western border. The famed Danube River crosses a small corner of the country south of Odessa and empties into the Black Sea, as do the Dnieper and the Dniester. The Crimean peninsula, which juts into the Black Sea, has beaches and a Mediterranean climate.
