The Ohio/Kentucky Carboniferous Plateau ecoregion is characterized by extensive bituminous coal mining and associated stream degradation; mining and its effects are less prominent in Ecoregion 70e and absent from Ecoregion 70d. The ridges of Ecoregion 70f are forested while its floodplains and broad, clay-filled, flat-bottomed, preglacial valleys are used for general farms. Originally, the hill slopes had mixed oak forests, while the broad, Teays-age valleys supported mixed mesophytic forests.
