The Northern Woodlands and Sagebrush ecoregion occurs at the lower elevations of the Kaibab Plateau and, to the east, surrounds the Defiance Plateau and the Chuska and Carrizo mountains. Juniper and pinyon pine dominate the woodland similar to Ecoregion 23e to the south; however, in this northern region, sagebrush is a more conspicuous component, and there is a less diverse grass and forb community. The climate also differs from Ecoregion 23e in that the majority of precipitation here occurs in the low-sun, cold season.
