The unforested Mountain Valleys ecoregion contains terraces, flood plains, alluvial fans, and hills. It is affected by cold temperatures and has a short growing season. Potential natural vegetation is mostly Great Basin sagebrush. It is distinct from the juniper-pinyon woodland and mountain mahogany-oak scrub of Ecoregion 19f. Today, irrigated cropland, irrigated pastureland, and rangeland are common. Turkey farms, feedlots, and dairy operations occur locally. Land use contrasts with that of nearby high plateaus and mountains.
