Morena/Boundary Mountain Chaparral

Ecoregion in CA

Generate High-Quality PDF

The Morena/Boundary Mountain Chaparral ecoregion is a transitional area between Ecoregions 85 and 8, on the border with Mexico. Elevations and relief are less than in Ecoregion 8e to the north, and Ecoregion 85h lacks much of the hardwood and conifer woodland of Ecoregion 8. It is slightly higher than Ecoregion 85g to the west, except for that ecoregion’s high hills near the international border. Vegetation is predominantly mixed chaparral and some chamise.
