Big Morongo Canyon Preserve Plants The lush vegetation of the oasis in Big Morongo Canyon stands in sharp contrast to the surrounding desert slopes. A high water table has made the growth of tall trees possible despite the desert climate. The desert springs ecosystem and Mojave Riparian Forest here are considered to be some of the best in California. In addition, the area is of botanical interest because it contains two desert vegetation zones, the Mojave and the Sonoran. Dry slopes are characterized by low creosote brush scrub at lower elevations, and pinyon-juniper woodland at higher elevations. Next |
