The Sagebrush Steppe Valleys ecoregion is flanked by the hills and mountains of Ecoregions 80b and 80c. It is dominated by sagebrush grassland and lacks the woodland of Ecoregion 80b, the open conifer forest of Ecoregion 80c, and the saltbush – greasewood of Ecoregions 13b and 80h. Perennial bunchgrasses are more abundant than in the Sagebrush Basins and Slopes (13c) in Utah. Valleys mostly drain to the Snake River and fish assemblages are unlike those of the internally-drained basins to the south in Ecoregion 13. Grazing is the dominant land use but non-irrigated wheat and barley farming is much more common than in the semiarid basins of Ecoregion 13. The Sagebrush Steppe Valleys (80i) ecoregion is less suitable for cropland agriculture and has less available water than many parts of the Snake River Plain (12).
