The Moderate Relief Plains ecoregion is typified by irregular plains with slopes greater than the surrounding at and rolling plains of Ecoregion 25d. Land use is predominantly rangeland, in contrast to the cropland or mosaic of cropland and rangeland of surrounding ecoregions. Soils are silty and clayey loams, formed from eolian sediments, shallower than the thicker loess-capped uplands of 25d. Blue grama-buffalograss was the natural prairie type.
