Conifer List

Complex interactions between biotic and abiotic factors have encouraged and nurtured biodiversity in the Klamath Mountain region over millions of years. The region is a botanical museum, hiding relicts of epochs gone by while also a cradling the adaptive evolution of new species. Complex climate and soils nurture microsites which, in essence, incubate biodiversity. The area also has a central location and continuity with other mountain ranges along the Pacific Slope. Across this landscape, a mosaic of habitats mix at a crossroads of five biotic regions—the Cascades, Coast Range, Great Basin, Central Valley, and Sierra Nevada—each helping to define the Klamath Mountains.

The conifers represent a manageable means for comprehending all biodiversity of the region.
