Effects population New Mexico is dominated by five major ecosystems: (1) alpine-conifers , (2) juniper scrub , (3) plains-mesa , (4) desert and basin , and (5) riparian habitats such as cottonwood bosque and willow marshes. Each of these ecosystems brings a characteristic flora and fauna to our state. The geological history of New Mexico has created a patchwork of mountains, valleys and basins throughout the state. This variation in topography provides a range of habitats from Alpine to desert and everything in between, and the Rio Grande and other rivers in the state provide riparian habitats at varied elevations.
