The Location and Description The Madrean Pine-Oak Woodlands are mostly in Mexico, but they are scattered around the southern part of the United States. The majority 461,265 of the Madrean Pine-Oak Woodlands lies with in Mexico. Some places that the Madrean Pine-Oak woodlands are in besides Mexico are the Sierra Madre Oriental, the Trans-Mexico Volcanic Belt, the Sierra Madre Occidental, the Sierra Norte de Oaxaca, Sierra Madre del Sur, and also the mountaintop islands in Baja California A quarter of all of Mexico's plants are with in this area. In the area there is a bunch of mountains, deep canyons and high reefs. They

The Description Of The Habitat The Woodlands Are In The climate in the Woodlands are primarily temperate, the annual of precipitation varying between 500 to 2,500 millimeters, but it all depends on the slope and aspects. There are two extremely different regions also have different types of species within them. Within all of the species there are some more dominate than others.
The Species In The Woodlands There are 5,300 species of flowering plants on in the woodland areas. 75% of the species in the woodlands can’t be found anywhere else on the earth. There are also many different kinds of vertebrates in the woodlands. There are birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and freshwater fishes. There are roughly 525 bird species in this area. Some of the different kinds of birds on the island are short-crested coquette, blue-capped hummingbird, white-tailed hummingbird, white-throated jay, bearded wood-partridge, dwarf jay. Many of these birds are threatened. There are nearly 330 mammals in the woodlands. One of the mammals they have there is a volcano rabbit. It is a smallest and unusual rabbit. There are more than 380 reptile species on the woodlands. There are 50 lizards, 14 anolis, and 150 snakes. There are nearly 200 amphibians in the woodlands. One of the animals on the island is frogs. There are 80 species of freshwater fishes. There are also invertebrates on the island. There is 160-200 butterflies in the woodlands. in the fall about 100-150 million monarchs migrate south.
The threats to biodiversity, their solutions, and the obstacles to the solutions There was a exploitation of pines and oaks for timber has increased. There was a fire and that is partly a natural processes in this ecosystem. It intentionally burned the forest and most of the habitats. There was a fire supervision by federal and state agencies that ended up lasting 90 years in southern Arizona. This has all lead to the forest having higher evaluations.
