Arkansas Valley: Prairie/Pasture
Area: 407,155 acres (164,770 ha)
Description of Mapped Type: This type circumscribes a variety of grasslands. In the modern
landscape, non-native and grazing-tolerant species such as Bermudagrass, field brome, marsh
bristlegrass, thickspike tridens, and tall fescue are common components. Some native hay
meadows or lightly grazed native sod may be dominated by native prairie species such as little
bluestem, switchgrass, yellow Indiangrass, and big bluestem.
