Unlike neighboring Great Plains ecoregions, little of the Southwestern Tablelands is in cropland. Instead, much of this elevated tableland is in subhumid grassland and semiarid grazing land. Natural vegetation includes grama-buffalo grass, mesquite-buffalo grass and shinnery (midgrass prairie with open, low growth of several types of oak and shrubs).
