Coastal Sage Scrub
Coastal Sage Scrub is a unique ecosystem found primarily in southern California and parts of northern Mexico. It is characterized by low-growing shrubs, aromatic plants, and a variety of drought-resistant species. This habitat thrives in areas with a Mediterranean climate, featuring hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters.
The vegetation in Coastal Sage Scrub includes plants like sagebrush, buckwheat, and California lilac. This ecosystem supports diverse wildlife, including birds, small mammals, and reptiles. Coastal Sage Scrub plays a crucial role in maintaining local biodiversity and is often found near coastal regions, making it an important area for conservation efforts.
