The North Central New Mexico Valleys and Mesas is an area of mostly pinyon pine and juniper savanna, and mesa and valley topography similar to some other parts of Ecoregion 22. Situated between portions of the Southern Rockies (21) to the east and west, and dominated by young geologic features of the Espanola rift basin and ancestral Rio Grande floodplain, ecological differences are apparent. It has a cooler climate with slightly greater precipitation, streams tend to have more water flow, and there is a different species mix of flora and fauna compared to 22i, 22j, or 22m. It differs from 22f in geology, topography, and vegetation; from 22i and 22m in elevation, climate, and vegetation. It has a mix of geology, mostly Tertiary sedimentary or Tertiary and Quaternary volcanic rocks.
