Clay Prairie
Upland clay soils greater than 20 inches deep, on rolling and broken topography
with some gentle slopes. This site is moderately productive and generally has a midgrass or short grass
aspect. The site contains forbs, grasses, and legumes. This site has little or no woody vegetation on it.
The vegetation was formed under migratory grazing and heavy impact from bison and other native
wildlife, with fires in both the dormant and growing season.
