New Mexico
New Mexico, United States of America: 6 ecoregions. Each with its climate now and toward 2050, and its conservation tier.
Landscape and climate
Six ecoregions reach New Mexico across three biomes. The Chihuahuan desert covers the south, with the Colorado Plateau shrublands in the northwest. The Western shortgrass prairie holds the eastern plains. Above them sit the Colorado Rockies forests and the Arizona Mountains forests, and the Sierra Madre Oriental pine-oak forests reach the southern border. The Arizona Mountains forests are in the Nature Imperiled tier. New Mexico is the clearest elevation-driven state in the country, running from desert through grassland, pinyon-juniper, ponderosa and spruce-fir within a single county in places. The state plant list is therefore not a useful object. The ecoregion and the elevation together are what to plan from.
