Examples
-
Rangeland is more common than in the Prairie Tableland (27d) and Red Prairie (27h).
-
The plains of the Flat to Rolling Cropland ecoregion are more level and less dissected than in the adjacent Moderate Relief Rangeland (25c).
-
Rangeland is found on land that is too sandy or too rugged for farming; it has been widely overgrazed.
-
Rangeland and grassland occur but, unlike adjacent ecoregions, there is little cropland.
-
Rangeland and grassland are found in more rugged areas and are being invaded by eastern redcedar.
-
Rangeland is common, but spring wheat and alfalfa farming also occur; agriculture is affected by erratic precipitation and few opportunities for irrigation.
-
For example, Croplands biomes are mostly mosaics of cultivated land mixed with trees and pastures, and therefore possess just slightly more than half of the world's total crop-covered area (8 of 15 million km2), with most of the remaining cultivated area found in Village (~25%) and Rangeland (~15%) biomes.

-
Rangeland is common and dryland and irrigated agriculture occur in eastern basins.
-
Rangeland is extensive, especially in areas of aridic soils, poor drainage, or dissected terrain; farmland is found locally in Ecoregion 43 such as on the extensive Quaternary terrace deposits of the Judith River Basin.
-
Rangeland (widely overgrazed) is found in areas that are too sandy or steep for farming.
