State or province
Idaho
Idaho, United States of America: 9 ecoregions. Each with its climate now and toward 2050, and its conservation tier.
Landscape and climate
Nine ecoregions reach Idaho, which is a lot for a state this shape, and they sort roughly by latitude. The north is forest: the Northern Rockies conifer forests, and the Blue Mountains forests along the western edge. The center holds the South Central Rockies forests and the Wasatch and Uinta montane forests. The south is dry, with the Snake-Columbia shrub steppe through the river plain, the Great Basin shrub steppe below it, and the Wyoming Basin shrub steppe to the southeast. The Palouse prairie and Montana Valley and Foothill grasslands add grassland in the north and east. Southern Idaho gardens are working in sagebrush country and should plan for it; northern ones sit in genuine conifer forest.
