An Entity of Type: District108552138, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The term Cross Timbers, also known as Ecoregion 29, Central Oklahoma/Texas Plains, is used to describe a strip of land in the United States that runs from southeastern Kansas across Central Oklahoma to Central Texas. Made up of a mix of prairie, savanna, and woodland, it forms part of the boundary between the more heavily forested eastern country and the almost treeless Great Plains, and also marks the western habitat limit of many mammals and insects.

  • The term Cross Timbers, also known as Ecoregion 29, Central Oklahoma/Texas Plains, is used to describe a strip of land in the United States that runs from southeastern Kansas across Central Oklahoma to Central Texas. Made up of a mix of prairie, savanna, and woodland, it forms part of the boundary between the more heavily forested eastern country and the almost treeless Great Plains, and also marks the western habitat limit of many mammals and insects. No major metropolitan areas lie wholly within the Cross Timbers, although roughly the western half of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex does, including the cities of Fort Worth, Denton, Arlington, and Weatherford. The western suburbs of the Tulsa metropolitan area and the northeastern suburbs of the Oklahoma City metropolitan area also lie within this area. The main highways that cross the region are I-35 and I-35W going north to south (although they tend to skirt the Cross Timbers' eastern fringe south of Fort Worth) and I-40 going east to west. Numerous U.S. Highways also cross the area. (en)
  • Les Cross Timbers sont une région du Sud des États-Unis qui s'étire du sud-est du Kansas au centre du Texas en passant par l'Oklahoma. Sa végétation est composée de prairie, de savane et de forêts. Elle constitue une zone de transition entre les forêts de l'Est des États-Unis et les Grandes Plaines et marque la limite occidentale de nombreuses espèces de mammifères et d'insectes. La région ne compte pas d'agglomérations importantes, même si elle comprend la moitié ouest de l'aire urbaine de Dallas-Fort Worth, les banlieues de Tulsa et le nord-est de l'agglomération d'Oklahoma City. Les principales autoroutes sont l'I-35 et qui traversent la région du nord au sud, ainsi que l'I-40 d'orientation est-ouest. (fr)
