Post Oak Savanna at McKinney Roughs Nature Park
Taken on Mar. 26, 2024
This landscape, showing post oak savanna at McKinney Rough Nature Park, is towards the hillier end of the East Central Texas Plains, and shows what a relatively more intact wild area looks like in this region. The soil texture leads to considerable drought stress, so tree growth is scattered and ample light reaches the ground, allowing for the growth of grasses and other plants. Cover is patchy, with some spots nearly-forested and others more open.
