The treeless North Central Brown Glaciated Plains ecoregion is an important grain producing area. Land use contrasts with the rangeland of Ecoregions (42j) and (42r). Its very broad, largely undissected till plains and nearly level, poorly-drained, proglacial lake plains are chinook-affected. The potential natural vegetation is grama - needlegrass - wheatgrass and is distinct from the foothills prairie community found in the adjacent but more sloping Ecoregion 16a. Soils are brown and were derived from glacial drift, glaciolacustrine, and alluvial deposits. Oil wells are common locally. Ecoregion 42o continues into Canada.
