Ecoregion

The Marblehead Drift/Limestone Plain ecoregion has areas of thin glacial drift and limestone-dolomite ridges and islands. Streams often flow on carbonate bedrock; their character is different from the clayey channels of Ecoregions 57a and 57c. Originally, beech forests and, especially, elm-ash swamp forests were common. Scattered carbonate ridges supported distinctive mixed oak forests and prairies, marl plains had prairies, and the Lake Erie and Sandusky Bay shoreline often supported fens. Many geographically isolated plant species occurred in Ecoregion 57d. Today, corn, small grains, soybeans, and hay are grown on artificially drained land. Vegetable and fruit farming is well adapted to the relatively mild climate near the shoreline.
