Rainfall in this ecoregion increases from west to east resulting in various types of prairie grasslands. Topography in the Great Plains actually affects soil composition in areas of different elevation.
The Southern Great Lakes lowland forests is a temperate broadleaf and mixed forest ecoregion of North America, as defined by the World Wildlife Fund. Located near the Great Lakes, it lies mostly in the central northeastern United States and extends into southeast central Canada. In modern times, little of it remains intact due to land use ...
