General Information:
The Central Great Plains are slightly lower, receive more precipitation, and are somewhat more irregular than the Western High Plains (4D) to the west.
The central great plains were once a grassland with scattered low trees and shrubs in the south, however now, much of this ecoregion is now cropland. The eastern boundary of this ecoregion in most locations is the Central Lowland Plains (5E) which boundary marks the eastern limits of the major winter wheat growing area of the United States.
Subsurface salt deposits and leaching contribute to high salinity found in some streams.
