The Salt Shrub Valleys ecoregion is composed of arid basins once inundated by Pleistocene lakes. Climate, soil, and vegetation are similar and transitional to the Lahontan Salt Shrub Basin (13j). Nearly flat basin floors and barren playas are poorly drained, have a high water table, and retain water seasonally. Strongly alkaline soils are characteristic. Vegetation is dominated by black greasewood, spiny hopsage, bud sagebrush, Wyoming big sagebrush, inland saltgrass, alkali sacaton, and basin wildrye.
