The Oak Openings ecoregion is a belt of low, often wooded, sand dunes and paleobeach ridges that are situated among the broad, nearly flat, agricultural plains of Ecoregion 57a. Well-drained, sandy soils are common and originally supported mixed oak forests and oak savanna; poorly-drained depressions with wet prairies were also found. Today, general farms, residential development, oak woodland, and sand quarries occur.
