Sierra de la Laguna dry forests
- Sierra de la Laguna dry forests
The Sierra de la Laguna dry forests are a subtropical dry forest ecoregion of the southern Baja California Peninsula in Mexico. The dry forests cover the lower elevations of the Sierra de la Laguna, from 250 to 800 meters elevation. They are surrounded at lower elevations by the San Lucan xeric scrub, which lies between sea level and 250 meters elevation. Above 800 meters elevation, the dry forests transition to the subhumid and temperate Sierra de la Laguna pine-oak forests.
The predominant tree species of the dry forests are the Mauto "(Lysiloma divaricata)", Palo blanco "(L. candida)", Cajalosucho "(Bursera microphylla)" and Palo zorrillo "(Albizia occidentalis)".
