- W329163343 abstract "The Gran Desierto of northwestern Sonora is one of the most arid regions of North America. The flora and vegetation of the Sierra del Rosario and the surrounding extensive dune system are analyzed and compared with each other. The dunes, covering on the order of 4,500 sq. km., support a flora of 75 species, while the Sierra, comprising approximately 78 sq. km., supports 105 species. The total flora consists of 145 species, with 36 species common to both the dunes and Sierra. The life -form spectra are indicative of extremely arid conditions: ephemeral species make up 55% of the total flora. A number of range extensions are reported. Mentzelia longiloba is reduced to a subspecies of M. mul ti flora. There are only three non -native, naturalized species among the dune flora, and none in the Sierra flora. There is no indication of endemism among the Sierra flora. In contrast, the dunes, when considered together with similar habitat in adjacent southeastern California and southwestern Arizona, show some level of evolutionary differentiation for approximately 15% of the flora. Introduction The Gran Desierto of northwestern Sonora, Mexico, consists mostly of active dunes lying between the port town of Puerto Penasco, the Pinacate lava region, and the Colorado River (Figures 1 and 2). Isolated and surrounded by these dunes is the Sierra del Rosario (Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6). This study is concerned with the vascular plants of this mountain and the surrounding dunes. The Gran Desierto is a part of the largest active sand sea in North America. This sand desert covers about 7,800 sq. km., and about 60% of it consists of the Gran Desierto dunes. Most of the system is made up of active crescentic and star dunes, with relatively few linear dunes. The principal source of sand was the delta of the Colorado River. It is thought that at least 10,000 years were required to form these dunes. The depth of most of the sand is unknown. However, the Algodones dunes in California to the northwest are as much as 61 m. thick, and total relief of the high dunes to the west of the Sierra del Rosario, from trough to dune crest, averages 180 m.
