This EPA Level III ecoregion encompasses all or part of 35 Texas counties. The Central Great Plains extends in a great swath from west-central Texas north through central Oklahoma, Kansas and south-central Nebraska. In Texas, along with the Southwestern Tablelands, this ecoregion covers approximately the same land area as the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department’s Rolling Plains vegetative region. This collection lists only those taxa found in the Texas portion of the Central Great Plains ecoregion.Printer Friendly: Species List | List with Images | List with QR Tags to Mobile
