Rolling Plains and Breaks

Ecoregion on Great Plains in KS, NE

Generate High-Quality PDF

The Rolling Plains and Breaks ecoregion was historically a mixedgrass prairie. Today, a mosaic of cropland agriculture and rangeland occurs throughout the region. Soils are silty, well drained, deep, and moderately permeable; formed in loess on uplands. The dissected plains, with broad, undulating to rolling ridge-tops are a contrast to the smoother Western High Plains (25) to the west and the broad, flat regions to the north (27g and 27f). In Kansas, this region contains extensive oil deposits.
