The arid Shadscale-Dominated Saline Basins ecoregion is nearly flat, internally-drained, and has light-colored alkaline soils that are dry for long periods. Its salt- and drought-tolerant shadscale and greasewood are unlike the Wyoming big sagebrush and bluebunch wheatgrass of the less saline Ecoregion 13c. Ecoregion 13b is mostly rangeland. Irrigated farming is rarer than in Ecoregions 13i and 80h.
