The Sandy and Silty Tablelands ecoregion is characterized by tablelands with areas of moderate relief, a more arid climate, with average annual precipitation ranging from only 14 to 17 inches, and a shorter growing season than most other regions in 25. Land use is predominantly rangeland, a contrast to the more extensive agriculture of neighboring 25d. Soils in this region are fine sandy and silty loams to fine sands and are formed from weathered Oligocene and Miocene sandstone (Ogallala and Arikaree Formations, and upper White River Groups). Potential natural vegetation is mainly mixedgrass prairie with scattered areas of Sand Hills prairie.
