The distribution and drivers of subtropical plant species in the U.S. sky island region, presented by Jim Verrier.
The large number of subtropical plants reaching their northern range in the U.S. sky islands contribute to the unique botanical flavor of this biodiverse region. This talk will explore the extent of subtropical plant distribution in the Arizona-New Mexico sky islands, drivers of subtropical plant occurrence, regional patterns of subtropical species turnover, and sky island subtropical hotspots.
