Ecoregion in MN

This ecoregion between the Alexandria Moraines (51j) and the McGrath Till Plain (51k) has similarities to both. The topography is gently rolling with sections of drumlins as in 51k but the elevations are primarily in the 400s of meters as in 51j. The soils are moist prairie Udolls in the southern quarter of the ecoregion and in patches along the western border; forest Udalfs in a large section in the center of the ecoregion and another patch in the northwest; and a substantial section of sandy forest Psamments in the northeast. The moist prairie Udolls soils in the southern quarter are primarily used for corn and soybean farming, but the rest of the ecoregion is a mixture of small sections of cropland (corn, soybeans, dry beans, some of it irrigated) in a matrix of deciduous woods, alfalfa and other hays, and wetlands. The southern three-fourths of the ecoregion is in the Hart and Ziegler (2008) Dairy Belt. About 25% of this ecoregion was corn and soybeans, 25% deciduous and evergreen forest, and 20% wetlands in 2013.
