Abstract

The Sierra de La Giganta is a semi–arid region in the southern part of the Baja California peninsula of Mexico. Traditionally, this area has been excluded as a sector of the Sonoran Desert and has been more often lumped with the dry–tropical Cape Region of southern Baja California peninsula, but this classical concept of the vegetation has not previously been analyzed using formal documentation. In the middle of the last century, Annetta Carter, a botanist from the University of California, began explorations in the Sierra de La Giganta that lasted 24 years, she collected 1 550 specimens and described several new species from this area, but she never published an integrated study of the flora. Our objectives, having developed extensive collections in the same area over the past years, are to provide a comprehensive species list and description of the vegetation of this mountain range. We found a flora of 729 taxa, poorly represented in tree life–forms (3.1%), a moderate level (4.4%) of endemism, and the dominance of plants in the sampling plots is composed mainly for legume trees and shrubs. Additionally, using a biogeographical approach, we compare our list with other known lists of plants from 5 areas, 3 in the Cape Region, 1 in the Sonoran Desert, and other in the thornscrub area of NW Mexico. We conclude that the La Giganta flora has a mixed composition, primarily made up of plants shared with the lowlands of the southern Cape Region, but also share an important proportion of the flora with the desert mountains of the central peninsula and some with the Sonoran desertscrub of mainland Mexico. Consequently we support that the La Giganta flora is part of a floristic continuum along the volcanic mountains of the southern peninsula that eventually could be considered a new eco–region in the same peninsular land.

Key words: Sonoran desert, floristic comparison, subtropical vegetation.

 

Resumen

La sierra de La Giganta se localiza en el estado de Baja California Sur, México, en una región semi–árida. Tradicionalmente, esta superficie se ha excluido de la sectorización del desierto sonorense y se ha relacionado más con las comunidades del trópico seco de la región del cabo del extremo sur peninsular, pero tal idea no ha sido documentada con formalidad. Hacia la mitad del siglo XX, Annetta Carter, botánica de la Universidad de California, inició exploraciones en la sierra de La Giganta por espacio de 24 años, colectó unos 1 550 números y ayudó a describir varias especies en el área, pero nunca publicó un estudio integral de la flora. Habiendose colectado intensivamente en el área en los últimos años, nuestro objetivo es proporcionar una lista florística y una descripción de la vegetación de dicha serranía. La flora consiste de 729 taxones, en los cuales las formas de vida arbóreas son las menos representadas (3.1%), el endemismo es de nivel moderado (4.4%), y la dominancia de plantas en parcelas de muestreo señala que los árboles y arbustos de la familia Fabaceae son los más importantes. Adicionalmente, dentro de un enfoque biogeográfico, esta flora se compara con otras 5 conocidas; 3 de la Región del Cabo, 1 del Desierto Sonorense y 1 más del matorral espinoso del NO de México. Se concluye que la flora de la sierra de La Giganta tiene una composición mixta; primeramente, de plantas compartidas con el matorral de la región del cabo, pero también con numerosos taxones de la flora de las montañas desérticas del centro de la península, y en menor grado con el matorral desértico del sur de Sonora. Los resultados son congruentes con la idea sobre la existencia de un gradiente florístico que discurre a través de las montañas volcánicas en la mitad sur de la península, que bien puede considerarse como una nueva ecoregión para la península de Baja California.

Palabras clave: desierto sonorense, comparación florística, vegetación subtropical.

 

Introduction

The south–central portion of the arid Baja California peninsula is one of the driest areas on the entire peninsula related to large scale climatic factors. This area has been considered within the biogeographic region called the Sonoran Desert that occupies about 70–75% of the peninsula (Shreve and Wiggins, 1964).

The narrow peninsula extends over 1 500 km in a NW–SE direction, the longest peninsula in the New World. Within this area, there are several environmental gradients including the dry tropical climatic zone to the desert zone, and the cold California Current of the eastern Pacific Ocean to the extreme dry heat of the mainland. These gradients are significant in controlling the small scale assemblages of plants, larger plant associations, and plant communities, such as coastal sage scrub, chaparral, and isolated montane coniferous woodlands (Delgadillo, 1998, 2004). The east coast of the peninsula, on the Gulf of California, is distinctly hotter and more arid than the Pacific side. Also, the nearly continuous string of mountain ranges running the length of the peninsula act as an important corridor for plant assemblages, allowing plants of northern origin to settle at higher mountain elevations. Shady sites on north–facing slopes support mesic plants and higher plant density and diversity, not usually present on south–facing slopes (Zedler, 1981). These slope and aspect features interact with other well known environmental elements, such as superficial geology, soil type, availability of soil water, solar radiation, and air temperature to control plant distributions and vegetation types. (Halvorson and Patten, 1974; McAuliffe, 1994).

The result is a collage of plant assemblages of xeric affinity that create the arid peninsular landscape. Except for the chaparral, coniferous woodland, and dry tropical forest plant communities, the remaining xeric peninsular communities are difficult to differentiate from each other. On meridional peninsula territory, the Cape Region and Sierra de La Giganta are considered "a separated part" of the desert (Shreve and Wiggins, 1964; Wiggins, 1960, 1980). The Cape Region has received some floristic and vegetation studies (Brandegee, 1891; León de la Luz and Domínguez, 1989; Lenz, 1992; León de la Luz and Coria Benet, 1993; León de la Luz et al., 1999; and Breceda, 2005), but the Sierra de La Giganta remains as an undocumented area.

Floristic inventories continue to be valuable tools for research, conservation, and management (Palmer et al., 1995). During the last few decades, an annual rate of about 60 new plant taxa have been discovered and described in the area of North America (Ertter, 2000). Inventories are crucial for research in biogeography because they fill gaps in the distribution and migration of taxa at all levels. Also, floristic inventories contribute to species conservation, both in locating populations of rare or previously undescribed species and bringing this attention to conservation organizations. The lack of floristic knowledge can jeopardize the long–term persistence of sensitive species. Finally, floristic inventories aid resource managers in locating populations of sensitive species and documenting the presence of exotic and nuisance species (Barkley, 2000).

In late 1950, Annetta M. Carter (1907–1991), a brave botanist at the University of California at Berkeley, began exploring the Sierra de La Giganta with at least 1 visit each year until 1974. She collected 1550 collecting numbers and helped to describe nearly 20 new species in this area. However, she did not publish an integrated study of the flora. Before her death, the first author received from Miss Carter a notebook with annotations on all of her collections and determinations during her life work as a botanist. We dedicate this manuscript to Annetta Carter as a tribute to her work and her encouragement to the first author.

Since 1996 we have compiled detailed collections in the Sierra de La Giganta, as well as leading a binational, multidisciplinary expedition to the area in 2003 (San Diego Natural History Museum, 2003). Our primary objectives have been: (1) to fill in the gaps of floristic data for this area in our herbaria at the San Diego Natural History Museum (SD) and the Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas del Noroeste (HCIB), and (2) provide resource managers, nongovernmental organizations, and Mexican environmental authorities a comprehensive species list and description of the vegetation for this area. Another important goal for this study has been to discuss the relationship of the flora of the Sierra de La Giganta to the floras of the Sonoran Desert, the Cape Region and the adjacent Sierra de La Laguna.

 

Materials and methods

The Sierra de La Giganta is located in a segment of the continuum of ranges that run longitudinally through the peninsula. The limits of this range are not exact, but in this study we delineate the area from the northern foothills of Cerro Giganta (1 660 m elevation, 26°06' N, 111°35' W) to the southern foothills of Cerro Cabeza del Mechudo (1 120 m, 24°47' N, 110°43' W). Altitudinally, we consider the sierra to include only those areas above the elevation of the 200 m contour line (Fig. 1). The entire study area is within the municipalities of La Paz, Comondú and Loreto in the state of Baja California Sur . The range has a surface area of 7 369 km², based on the GIS image analysis.

The sierra extends in a direct SE–NW line for almost 150 km. Over most of this distance, the range is situated close to the Gulf of California; the distance from the coast to the peaks is only a few kilometers, resulting in a steep escarpment on its eastern slope and a western slope that has a relatively shallow gradient to the Pacific Ocean. On the western side, a reticulated fluvial system has formed. Here, the geological conditions have created many seeps and springs that support wetlands that have been described as pools, waterholes, or oases (Grismer and McGuire, 1993, León de la Luz et al., 2006). These locations are the main centers of settlement for the few thousand local inhabitants (rancheros) dedicated to cattle and goat breeding and manufacturing charcoal from mesquite trees. In a few locations, closed mountain valleys become temporary ponds and small lakes after erratic summer and winter rainfall events.

The range is formed from repeated layers of volcanic rocks and clastic sandstones and conglomerates of a geologic complex known as the Comondu Formation, laid down during the Miocene (12 – 16 mya; Hausback, 1984). On the slopes dominated by sandstones, soils are superficial, and sandy and rocky in texture. Only in the arroyo bends are conditions suitable for accumulating sedimentary soils relatively deep and silty and loamy in texture.

The Sierra de La Giganta is undergoing active erosion. The first cause, other than the steep gradient of the terrain on its eastern escarpment, is undoubtedly the arid conditions and weakly consolidated sandstones. Some locations have relatively level mesas and small plateaus and show far less erosion. Colluviums collects at the base of steep slopes and is eventually washed downstream by the erratic rainfalls events, mainly from hurricanes. The occasional torrents that rush down the mountain canyons can dramatically change the landscape in the canyons and the lower gradient arroyos.

On the west side of the sierra, some arroyos wander for more than 100 km, discharging large amounts of silt along the coast into lagoons or the shoreline. Xero–riparian wetlands appear sporadically along the western drainage channels. Extensive sedimentary alluvial plains on the western flanks of the mountains are commonly covered by desert pavement, an exposed pebble and rock surface that may cover up to 100% of a local surface. These pavements are formed by sheet erosion of finer soil particles after heavy rains or when the sand and silt are blown away, creating what is called a surface of deflation. At the lower and middle elevations, the climate is BWh according García (1973); i. e., Köeppen's hot desert climate, a dry and hot regime, with most of its rainfall during the summer ca. (90%). Mision San Xavier (420 m; 25°51' N, 111°32' W), the highest weather station in the range, receives about 300 mm of rainfall annually. Hastings and Turner (1965) place this range in the transition between the subtropical monsoonal rainfall type characteristic of the southern half of the peninsula, and that of the winter cyclonic rainfall regime, characteristic of the Pacific coast at the northern Baja California peninsula and adjacent southern California (the Csa regime, Köppen's hot Mediterranean climate). When either or both air mass systems are weak, the Sierra de La Giganta does not receive rainfall, a condition that can last for several years. Since the range is located at the boundary of the 2 climatic systems, such drought conditions are rather common. The mean annual temperatures vary between 19 and 22 °C, based on records from several local weather stations.

Air temperatures over 40 °C are common in summer, but some light frost can be present during the early morning in winter. Figure 2 shows 2 climographs, a standard display of average monthly rainfall (in mm) and temperature (in °C) of 2 locations in the region.

Since 1996, the authors have explored several locations in the sierra and neighboring areas. Field trips were mainly during September to December, after the summer rainy season because fall and winter months are better for finding most plant species in acceptable phenological conditions for collection, particularly annuals and other forms that bloom after rains. A few, notably woody legumes and columnar cacti that bloom during the spring and summer, were collected in other seasons. The primary herbarium specimens are deposited in the San Diego Natural History Museum (SD) and Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas del Noroeste (HCIB) herbaria. Some duplicates were exchanged with the University of Arizona Herbarium (ARIZ). The primary sources for identification and nomenclature were Wiggins (1980) and Shreve and Wiggins (1964), but many additional floristic sources have also been consulted (Bravo, 1978; Bravo and Sanchez–Mejorada, 1991a, 1991b; Gentry, 1978; Gould and Moran, 1981; McVaugh, 1984, 1987; Hickman et al., 1993; Turner et al., 1995; Martin et al., 1998; Felger, 2000; Van Devender et al., 2000).

Within the designated boundary of the Sierra de La Giganta, about 70–80 km of dirt roads gives access to various areas by 2 and 4–wheel drive vehicles. Most of our specimens were collected along these roads in at least 28 different sites. Two important sites at the ends of the sierra, Cerro Cabeza del Mechudo (1 120 m) and Cerro Giganta (1 660 m), were reached only after several hours of difficult hiking and by riding mules.

To assess the vegetation structure of the sierra, band transects (10 x 100 m = 1 000 m²) were sampled at 3 sites. These sites were considered because the range where the species–area curve levels off was between 800 from 1200 m² for this kind of vegetation (León de la Luz et al., 2000). Sampling consisted of measuring height and 2 diameters of the canopy of each perennial plant (woody or herbaceous stem) taller than 0.25 m. From these field data, we calculated, for each species at each site, mean height, mean canopy cover, and density of plants of each species. Each species was classified into one of the life forms, according to its growth habit: trees, shrubs, perennial herbs, or succulents. A general ranking table was made for each site, which considered relative values for mean height, mean individual density, and mean canopy coverage. A coefficient of importance (IC) was calculated for each species as the mean of the sum of relative values of the 3 variables.

Floristic comparisons. We evaluated the floristic affinity of the Sierra de La Giganta with 5 other well documented areas. This evaluation of the floristic composition is performed at the level of species and infraspecies, inclusively. The known floras that were compared include 2 in the Sierra de La Laguna Biosphere Reserve, the oak–pine and the oak woodlands and the dry tropical forest (León de la Luz and Domínguez, 1989; León de la Luz and Coria Benet, 1993), the Cape Region sarcocaulescent scrubland (León de la Luz et al., 1999), the recently explored Sierra San Francisco (a voucher–based checklist from J. Rebman pers. comm. 2006), and finally the arid–subtropical thorn forest in southern Sonora (Friedman, 1996). For the comparisons, we used the coefficient suggested by Preston (1962), which was also used by Rzedowski (1973) to analyze the biogeographical relationships of the Mexican dry regions. This coefficient is recommended over others because it fits better when lists includes dissimilar numbers of plant taxa (in part, a result of areas of different size). The coefficient of similarity is obtained by:

T = (A^1/0.27 + B^1/0.27)^0.27

where A and B are the numbers of taxa of the 2 floristic lists to be analiyzed, and T is the theoretical number os species represented in both samples, if A and B were members of the same flora. For the same theoretical conditions, the number of taxa common to A and B are:

K = A + B – T

and the coefficient of similarity between A and B, expressed in percentage is:

CS = (L / K)

where L is the real number of taxa common to A and B.

Analyses were paired only between the Sierra de La Giganta and the another 5 lists. Figure 3 shows the locations to compare. In the Cape Region, oak/pine woodlands embraces 321 taxa and represent about 425 km², dry tropical forest is composed by 501 taxa in about 2 533 km², and the sarcocaulescent scrubland reports 453 taxa in 5 423 km². The Sierra San Francisco is represented by 405 taxa in around 800 km², the thornscub of the Río Mayo plains is composed by 481 taxa in 712 km², and finally the Sierra de La Giganta covers 7 369 km².

Additionally, using an absence–presence data matrix of the 6 compared floras, a classification technique was applied to evaluate how the common set of plants among the 6 locations is related to form hierarchical groups, this procedure permits a better integration of the whole data than the former matrix of similarity. Then, using the MVSP program (Kovach, 2006), a phenogram based on the former similitude matrix was generated by UPGMA (unweighted pair–group using arithmetic averages) as a clustering method, the Bray–Curtis distance is used as the measure of dissimilarity between sites.

 

Results

The flora. Table 1a synthesizes the main taxonomic groups represented by the 729 plant taxa of the Sierra de La Giganta according to the geographical limits mentioned earlier. The flora is composed by 19 taxa of ferns, 600 dicots, and 110 monocots. The bulk of the flora is in 10 families, Asteraceae (92 taxa), Fabaceae (60), Euphorbiaceae (48), Malvaceae (35), Convolvulaceae (27), Poaceae (26), Solanaceae (23), Cyperaceae (19), Cactaceae (19), and Nyctaginaceae (16) that contain half of the species and infraspecies taxa. Euphorbia s.l. is the most diverse genus, with 26 taxa (species and infraspecies, included in this genus are members recognized in the subgenera Agaloma, Chamaesyce and Poinsettia). Other diverse genera are Cuscuta (9 species), Cyperus (9), Boerhavia (8), Ipomoea (8), Acacia (7), Sphaeralcea (7), Ambrosia (7), Bouteloua (6), and Physalis (6). In general terms, family, genus, and species diversity are in accordance with those reported for dry–tropics lists in Central and South America (see Gentry, 1995). As in other dry–tropical areas in Mexico, Fabaceae, Asteraceae, Poaceae, and Euphorbiaceae dominate over most other families; v. gr., in the Pacific coast in Jalisco (Lott, 1993) and locations in southwestern Sonora bordering with the desert (Friedman, 1996; Martin et al., 1998; Van Devender, 2000).

The flora is composed of 8 different life forms (see Table 1b). Herbaceous plants, both perennial (Ph, 196 spp.) and annuals (An, 207 spp.), represent 55% of all species. Trees are poorly represented (Tr, 23 spp.), but shrubby forms are significant (Sh, 129 spp.). Hydrophytes (Hf, 62 spp.) include true aquatics and plants growing in moist soils, found mostly in the oases scattered in the sierra foothills (León de la Luz et al., 2006). Succulents (Sc, 50 spp.) include all members of the Agavaceae, Bromeliaceae, Cactaceae, Crassulaceae, and Portulacaceae, and some semi–succulents of the families Anacardiaceae, Burseraceae, Euphorbiaceae, and Apocynaceae. Parasites (Pa, 14 spp.) are dodder (Cuscuta) and mistletoe (Psittacanthus and Phoradendron). Vines (Vi, 49 spp.) belong to several families, such as Polygonaceae, Convolvulaceae, Ranunculaceae, Apocynaceae (Asclepiadaceae), and others.

The attached Appendix 1 contains a complete list of the flora as it is currently known. It is organized into ferns and ferns allies, and the flowering plants according to the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (2003), APG II, system of classification in denoting major groups and most families.

The species of La Giganta occur in 3 major taxonomic groups in the APG II system: Magnoliids (including the Saururaceae of the order Piperales), Eudicots, and Monocots. Families in each group are arranged in alphabetical order, and then by genus, species, and infraspecies. After the author's name, we include, in some cases, inside brackets [ ] a common synonym for these taxa especially as it relates to nomenclatural changes from Wiggins (1980). For all entries, we include after the scientific name and author a code of 2 letters in bold for the life form, according to table 1b. If appropriate, we include the designation "NW," indicating that the taxon was not reported in the Wiggins (1980) work on the Baja California flora (the main floristic reference for this region). We include the collector(s) last name and collection number(s) of the voucher specimens in alphabetical and numerical order. Finally, if available, a vernacular name recognized in the study area for the taxon is included.

Plant communities. Vegetation on most of the peninsula is designated as sarcocaulescent scrubland (Spanish: matorral sarcocaule) according to the official Mexican chart of vegetation (SPP, 1980). This vegetation is a subtype of the well–recognized desert or xerophyllous scrubland (Spanish: matorral xerófilo), a generic name for the vegetation of arid and semi–arid regions in Mexico. Rzedowski (1978, 1979) proposed that the former could be either a xero–morphic variant of the tropical dry–forest (Spanish: selva baja caducifolia) or the peninsular expression of the transition between the dry–tropical vegetation and the desert, i. e., the thornscrub, thorn forest (Spanish: bosque espinoso) or Sinaloan deciduous forest (Brown et al., 1994) that represent such transition in the northwestern portion of mainland Mexico, along the coastal plains of northern Sinaloa and southern Sonora. Figure 1 shows the distribution of the Sierra de La Giganta vegetation sub–types or plant associations.

The sarcocaulescent scrubland dominates an extensive surface of the Sierra de La Giganta on stony and rocky slopes. It covers approximately 83.6% of the total surface. Physiognomically, this vegetation is characterized by legume trees, such as the endemic "palo fierro" Prosopis palmeri S. Wats. Some other common legume trees are Lysiloma candidum Brandegee, Acacia brandegeana I.M. Jhtn., Mimosa distachya Cav., and Parkinsonia microphylla Torr. Also, by succulent plants (mostly cacti) and semi–succulent plants, such as Jatropha cinerea (Ortega) Muell.–Arg., J. cuneata Wigg. et Rollins, Fouquieria diguetii (van Tieghem) I.M. Jhtn., and Burser a microphylla A. Gray.

The sarco–crasicaulescent scrubland (Spanish: matorral sarco–crasicaule) occupies 14.3% of the sierra, typically the low slopes and foothills, where soils are deeper than on the steeper slopes. Species composition is basically the same as in the sarcocaulescent scrubland, but cacti tend to be dominants, including the massive "cardón" (Pachycereus pringlei (S. Wats.) Britt. et Rose), that is physiognomically important because of its great size and volume, which tower over the other plants on the plains, forming extensive plant communities called "cardonales." Other important cacti on this landscape are the "clavellinas" Cylindropuntia alcahes (F. A. C. Weber) F. M. Knuth var. alcahes and C. ciribe (Engelmann) F. M. Knuth whose populations apparently has been promoted by the selective grazing of cattle followed by dispersion of joints that develop vegetatively new plants. The "pitahaya dulce" Stenocereus thurberi (Engelm.) Gibson et Horak var. thurberi, and the "pitahaya agria" S. gummosus (Engelm.) Gibson et Horak, as well as the "garambullo" Lophocereus schottii (Engelm.) Britt. et Rose var. schottii. The creosote bush or "gobernadora" Larrea divaricata Cav. subsp. tridentata (Sessé et Moc.) Felger et Lowe, also grows in this community.

A plant association called mezquital is dominated by the "mezquite" Prosopis articulata S. Wats. which grows along the margins of arroyos. Such conditions are more common outside the limits of the sierra, toward the coastal plains along Bahía Magdalena on the Pacific coast. This association within our arbitrary boundaries of the sierra is small (1.6%) because it usually occurs at lower elevations. Mezquital associations follow arroyos on the vegetation maps, but they are not continuous. The density of trees is quite variable, sometimes dense, but sparse in other areas. This plant association is ecologically important as evergreen patches of vegetation on the landscape since the fauna intensively use the trees as refuges, nesting sites, and feeding areas. Some other species in this plant association are "otatave" Vallesia glabra (Cav.) Link, "chicura" Ambrosia ambrosioides (Cav.) Payne and "vinorama" Acacia farnesiana (L.) Willd., although this last seems to be introduced and dispersed by cattle that concentrate in suitable places for forage and shade. It is common to find seedlings in the cattle dung. Along the waterways, there are occasional small oases (León de la Luz et al., 2006) with standing water, characterized by palm groves of "palma" Washingtonia robusta Wendl and "dátil" Phoenix dactilifera L.

The microphyllous scrubland desert (Spanish: matorral desértico micrófilo) is rarely found in the sierra (0.03% of the area). It is characterized by plants with very small leaves (less than 2.25 cm² on surface), having leaves for only a short season each year. Some are thorny or spinescent plants (Acacia, Mimosa, Lycium), others are unarmed (Rue l lia, Larrea, Ambrosia, Aeschynomene). These plants also occur in the dominant sarcocaulescent scrubland, but with low density. This vegetation is more common on sandy and deeper soils of alluvial fans on the western slopes of the sierra.

The oak woodland (Spanish: encinar) occupies a very small area, less than 0.01% of the range surface. It occupies mountain tops of La Giganta and Cabeza del Mechudo. It is an atypical formation with sparse cover of the small oaks Quercus tuberculata Liebmann, a species well represented at higher elevations in the Cape Region, northern Sierra Madre Occidental, and southern Arizona on the mainland. Associated species include Nolina palmeri S. Wats. var. brandegeei Trel., Pachycormus discolor (Benth.) Coville var. discolor, Arracacia brandegeei Coulter et Rose, and Viguiera spp., as well as small plants that typically require lower temperatures and radiation and higher humidity, such as Dudleya spp. and Oxalis spp.

Finally, there are sparse and small areas, around the 0.4% of the surface, that are irregularly and seasonally inundated (Spanish: áreas temporalmente inundables). After heavy rains, they are flooded for months because they are the low–lying lands with internal drainage, forming flats of deep, silty soils, where the water percolates slowly or evaporates, increasing salinity in the top soil. When flooded, a succession of hydrophytes prospers, which species appear depends on several conditions, such as depth of water, season, and level of soil humidity. Common hydrophytes include Potamogeton illinoensis Morong, Samolus ebracteatus Kunth, Echinodorus berteroi (Sprengel) Fassett, and several forbs (Cyperus and Juncus). During the dry seasons, some semi–halophytic species are common, including Heliotropium curassavicum L. and the "cardo" Argemone spp., which is particularly abundant at times.

Quantitative dominant plants. To determine the common and characteristic plants in the landscape in a quantitative way, 3 sample plots in dissimilar situations where made in the sarcocaulescent scrubland, the major plant community in the sierra. Table 2 provides a hierarchical list of the plants sampled in each plot. We obtained an index, the coefficient of importance (CI) that is the average of the relative values of the recorded variables; namely, the total number of individuals in each species (TNI), the average height (H avg.), and the average canopy cover (C.C. avg.) for each species (Kent and Coker, 1995). For each site, a short description of the site is provided.

In Table 2 it is possible observe that in the most elevated locations (El Bosque, 550 m), the perennial herb Euphorbia magdalenae Benth. was the most important plant according the criteria cited above; also important were the semi–arborescent "palo Adán" Fouquieria diguetii (van Thieghem) I.M. Johnston, and another perennial herb Aeschynomene nivea Brandegee. Note that in this particular point coefficient of importance (CI) varies gradually in the species. The remaining 2 locations represent areas of similar altitude above sea level (480 m and 460 m, respectively); in both cases, the endemic tree Prosopis palmeri S. Wats. is one of the most dominant plants, as well as other trees such F. diguetii and Lysiloma candidum. Note that more species were recorded in these 2 last sampling plots than in the former; also, a small group of species concentrate the higher importance values (CI), a typical dominance distribution for this type of plant community (see Friedman, 1996; León de la Luz et al., 2000).

As in other dry–tropical areas of Central and South America (Gentry, 1995), leguminous woody species tend to be dominants at these 3 sites in La Giganta; v. gr. for the 5 species with the highest CI scores at each plot, 2 to 4 woody legumes are present at each site. Canopy cover ranges from 128 m² to 412 m². Then, the soil coverage is low (~12 to 41%) for the 1 000 m² at each site. Regions of floristic affinity. The paired comparison between the 5 regional floras and plants of the Sierra de La Giganta according to the Preston coefficient of similarity is shown in Table 3. Our hypothesis is that we expect the highest floristic similarity to be with neighboring areas rather than distantly separated ones, although factors such as elevation may play an important role in modifying this conceptual relationship. From the similarity matrix using Preston coefficient (Table 3), we find a very slight difference between the Sierra de La Giganta flora and that of the sarcocaulescent scrubland of the Cape Region (6.105) and the Sierra San Francisco flora (6.135), although this does not necessarily imply that the same species are shared among these 3 floras. A notable level of similitude is displayed with the subtropical vegetation of the Cape mountains (TDF, 4.687) than with the arid–subtropical thorn forest of SW Sonora (3.968); and finally, the lowest similitude is with the oak–pine woodlands of the Cape mountains (1.873), in spite the fact that these areas are barely separated by 140 km by the Cape lowlands, although this area is the most contrasting environmentally.

These results suggest, in part, a floristic continuum along the mountainous areas of the Baja California peninsula, and also allow us to consider the mixed composition in plant species of La Giganta flora, firstly with the southern neighbor, the Cape Region lowlands (in turn, with dry–tropical and xeric features), and later with locations of the northern arid mountains. Moreover, the rate of endemism in our La Giganta checklist is 2.7% (20/ 729) for the endemics restricted within our geographical limits, or 4.4% (32/ 729) including an additional set of semi–endemics. This represents a moderate level, but also provide a slight level of uniqueness for this flora.

The relatively low floristic affinity between La Giganta and southern Sonora reflect the role of the Gulf of California as an effective barrier for plants between the mainland and the peninsula because La Giganta and the Río Mayo plains are separated by only 200 km. Nevertheless, at the generic level, the similitude between both areas is highly significant; i.e. La Giganta flora (729 taxa) has 224 close relatives (different species in common genera) with the southern Sonora flora (481 taxa). This implies that both vegetation types could be physiognomicaly similar, selecting for similar functional types, but taxonomically not necessarily alike because of their allopatric development. Meanwhile, dissimilarity in the 5 peninsular floras is attributed more to changes in non–related species along the floristic gradient.

The phenogram (Fig. 4), which schematically integrates the floristic content among the 6 floras, displays a better relationship between La Giganta and the Cape lowlands, and this node (0.51) is related in turn with that of the Sierra San Francisco (0.56), result in accordance with the Preston coefficient matrix (Table 3). The following node, in turn, is related to the tropical deciduous forest in the Cape mountains (0.66), next with the southern Sonora floristic list (0.68); and the last with the Cape woodlands communities (0.88). In general terms, the floristic relationship analysis, both Preston matrix and phenogram, display almost the same pattern.

 

Discussion

The flora of the Sierra de La Giganta has 729 species and infraspecies, which indicates a moderate level of species richness for this study area of 7 369 km². This level of diversity surpasses the number of species found in other natural areas of the peninsula, such as the Sierra de La Laguna, where the woodlands contain 272 taxa (León de la Luz and Domínguez, 1989; León de la Luz and Coria Benet, 1993) and tropical dry forest that contain 520 taxa (León de la Luz et al., 1999). It is also richer than the El Vizcaíno Biosphere Reserve with 496 taxa (León de la Luz et al., 1995) and just a bit more diverse than the "Valle de Los Cirios Flora and Fauna Protected Area", located north of the Vizcaíno Reserve, with 723 taxa (unpublished data). Nevertheless, this level of diversity value is low when compared to similar communities on the mainland of Mexico. For example, in the Yécora area in the eastern Sonora pine–oak and oak woodlands, Van Devender et al. (2000) found 740 taxa in 21 km² of tropical deciduous forest along the Río Cuchujaqui in southwestern Sonora, Mexico.

The dry tropical vegetation of the Cape Region is about one–third the size of the Sierra de La Giganta and El Vizcaíno Biosphere Reserve is almost 3 times larger. In these cases, there is no linear arithmetic ratio between the size of the geographic area and the number of species present. Valle de Los Cirios has almost the same number of species, but it is ~3.5 times larger than the La Giganta region. These diversity values imply that the La Giganta flora is not as rich as the dry tropical area of the Cape Region, nor as sparse as many areas in the Sonoran Desert areas.

The vegetation landscape of the Sierra de La Giganta is dominated by scattered trees and shrubs of relatively low diversity, which provide a low cover to the rocky soil. Most of the life forms are herbaceous and appear only after heavy rains (Table 1). Vines and climbing species are moderately common in the area. Hydrophytes are only found in the small and scattered oases. Succulents are physiognomically dominant on the western flanks.

Endemism is moderate, with 22 endemics and 12 semi–endemics, suggesting a grade of singularity in plant composition. In recent years, 2 species were described: Amyris carterae Rebman et Chiang and Marsdenia carterae Stevens et Juárez–Jaimes.

The similarity matrix in Table 3 (using the Preston coefficient) show the paired results between La Giganta flora and 5 other floras. This comparison helps to show the mixed composition of La Giganta. This flora is primarily made up of plants from both the dry tropical and the xeric environments, cluster analysis (Fig. 4) schematically demonstrated such statement. A plant community on mainland Mexico that is physiognomically similar to the peninsular dry tropical environment did not show a significant floristic relationship with La Giganta at the species and infraspecies level, but undoubtedly does at the genus level because of the disjoint development of the dry tropical vegetation in these areas during the Holocene.

In relation to neighboring areas, the La Giganta region tends to exhibit its own characteristic landscape dominated by leguminous trees, where the endemic "palo fierro" (Prosopis palmeri) is an important and dominant component of the plains, foothills, and slopes. "Palo blanco" (Lysiloma candidum) is another omnipresent tree species in almost all of the La Giganta habitats and this species is practically an endemic to the southern half of the Baja California peninsula. The dominant vegetation, with low canopy cover, is also an important regional landscape feature, primarily related to scarce rainfall and shallow soils because very rocky substrates are the most prevalent type in the region. In fact, the distribution of P. palmeri and our delimitation of the sierra shown in Fig. 1, fits together very closely.

From our floristic analysis, the Sierra La Giganta and, by extension, several northern ranges (Guadalupe and San Francisco), could be considered an additional unit in the Sonoran Desert subdivision, as a new floristic province or subflora. The soil, orography, floristic, plant spatial arrangement, landscape physiognomy, and rate of endemism are enough features to considerate it as a new region in future proposals of eco–regionalization of peninsular desert territory.

Alternatively, this precipitous mountain range could be also considered a segment of the large transition between the subtropical, or dry–tropic vegetation, Cape Region and the desert plant communities of the northern peninsula; i.e. the peninsular version that, in mainland northwestern Mexico, is represented mainly by the Sinaloan thornscrub and other communities where the thorny and scrub component prevails, even though this is richer in plant species.

The primary activity of the rural population in the Sierra de La Giganta is extensive ranching of cattle and goats for meat to outside markets, but especially collecting milk for making cheese. Cattle grazing has been present in this area for at least the last 3 centuries. It is difficult to evaluate how these old livestock practices impacted plant composition and structure. According to several older ranchers, modification of the vegetation is noticeable after a few years, when rainfall is absent and some plants die from a combination of overgrazing and dry soils. Yet, they speak of new plant species reappearing after the rainfalls. Thus, animal grazing alone is not the primary cause of land degradation in this region. Loss of topsoil is also caused by cattle, goats, and horses disturbing the topsoil structure, which makes the coarse particles susceptible to erosion from runoff after heavy rains. Anthropogenic erosion, particularly detrimental on steeper slopes, is occurring in most areas of the range.

In the last 3 decades, manufacturing charcoal from "mesquite" (Prosopis palmeri and P. articulata) has been increasing. As a result, the tallest P. palmeri mesquites have dramatically declined in numbers (León de la Luz et al., 2005). "Mesquite" is an important extractive resource for the locals because the hardness of the wood, a consequence of slow growth (sp. gr. 1.28 g/cm³) makes superior charcoal. Based on the number of growth rings in the stem, we estimate that a tree with a 25–cm breast diameter could well exceed 200 years; some of the oldest trees have a basal diameter approaching 80 cm; these could be considered almost millennium plants. On old ranches, fences and corrals were built of mesquite, which endures termite attack and weathering. Prosopis articulata is now the main source for charcoal in the area, and urgent regulation from the Mexican environmental authorities is needed to prevent further depletion.

No conservation area has been decreed by Mexican authorities for the Sierra de La Giganta, although some conservation groups have considered protecting the oases because they appear to be highly vulnerable ecosystems. Most impacts on the oases are a consequence of unregulated water use by local ranchers and invasion of exotic plant and animal species. Oases attract many local and migrating animals. The plants (see hydrophytes, Table 1) represent only a fraction (8.4%) of the total diversity of the sierran flora, but considering the very low surface area occupied, their importance is magnified. Arguments for conservation, besides those already mentioned, include the runoff collected in the basins that percolate to the water table in the lowlands, the beauty of the sea and desert unimpacted mountains, and fostering bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis Shaw subsp. weemsii Goldman). Bighorn sheep could be valuable trophies for hunters, as well as keystone or umbrella species used for designing and protecting wilderness areas in the higher parts of the Sierra de La Giganta, particularly on the peaks of Cabeza del Mechudo and La Giganta.
