A mixed-grass prairie vegetation, rather than shortgrass prairie, dominates this northern extremity of the Western High Plains (25). ❋ Unknown (2009)
In mixed-grass steppe, additional species include green needlegrass, sand dropseed, slender wheatgrass, galleta, and purple three-awn. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Moisture is a limiting factor in the rainshadow of the Rocky Mountains; as a result, drought resistant shortgrass and some mixed-grass prairie dominate the plains vegetation. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The potential natural vegetation is mixed-grass prairie which includes a prevalence of shortgrass species, such as buffalograss, and it lacks the sagebrush component found in the neighboring Sagebrush Steppe (43e). ❋ Unknown (2009)
This region, called mixed-grass steppe, reaches from the tallgrass prairie parkland to the shortgrass steppe at about long. ❋ Unknown (2009)
In plots protected from fire, grasses typical of the Palouse grassland or mixed-grass steppe gradually become dominant. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Potential natural vegetation is mostly mixed-grass prairie, with riparian vegetation of cottonwood, snowberry, wildplum, and silver buffalo-berry along the North Platte River. ❋ Unknown (2009)
In this region the mixed-grass prairie has a predominance of shortgrass species, e.g., little bluestem and buffalograss. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The Laramie Basin ecoregion is a wide intermontane valley, dominated by mixed-grass prairie. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Situated in southwestern South Dakota, the Badlands National Park marries mixed-grass prairies with pinnacles, spires, canyons, and otherworldly buttes of varied colors and shapes to create a lunar-worthy landscape. ❋ Unknown (2006)
The flora of this region is mixed, with shortgrass and mixed-grass prairie and rare xeric species on south and west-facing slopes, and bur-oak woodland and tallgrass prairie on cooler, moister slopes. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Rolling plains a mixed-grass prairies are typical in the northern Great Plains. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Short-grass prairie occurs in the west, in the rain shadow of the Rocky Mountains, with mixed-grass prairie in the central Great Plains and tall-grass prairie in the wetter eastern region. ❋ Unknown (2008)
With increasing latitude, the shortgrass prairies take on an aspect more similar to mixed-grass such as in this ecoregion, where many cool-season species predominate. ❋ Unknown (2008)
This climate is similar to that of the annual grasslands of California, yet the Palouse historically resembled the mixed-grass vegetation of the central grasslands, except for the absence of short grasses. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Fourmile Creek Ranch lies several miles north and contains vast, rolling plains of mixed-grass prairie rangeland. ❋ Unknown (2010)
This finding underscores the value of grazed, mixed-grass prairie as a viable agroecosystem to serve as a net greenhouse gas sink in the northern Great Plains. ❋ Unknown (2010)
An upper 39-mile reach added in 1991 features native flood plain forest, tallgrass and mixed-grass prairies and habitats for several endangered species. ❋ Unknown (2010)
