Maumee Lake Plains Ecoregion
Ecoregions: Maumee Lake Plains
Maumee Lake Plain Ecoregion shown in light blue
The Maumee Lake Plains ecoregion is poorly-drained and contains clayey lake deposits, water-worked glacial till (mixed clay, sand, rocks deposited by glaciers), and fertile soils. Elm-ash swamp forests and beech forests once were extensive, but have been replaced by farmland. Sluggish, low gradient rivers carry high sediment loads that stress the plants and animals that live in them. Source: US EPA
