State or province
Wyoming
Wyoming, United States of America: 7 ecoregions. Each with its climate now and toward 2050, and its conservation tier.
Landscape and climate
Seven ecoregions reach Wyoming and not one is in the Nature Imperiled tier. That is among the best rosters in the country, and it reflects how much of the state remains in large unbroken blocks. The Wyoming Basin shrub steppe covers the dry interior basins, the Northern Shortgrass prairie and Western shortgrass prairie the eastern plains, and the Montana Valley and Foothill grasslands the northwest valleys. The South Central Rockies forests, Colorado Rockies forests and Wasatch and Uinta montane forests hold the ranges. Wyoming is high everywhere, so even the basin floors are cold in winter, and the constraint on a garden here is usually the combination of altitude, wind and a short season rather than heat.
