Sedimentary

Summers are hot and dry, and soils have a xeric moisture regime in contrast to the udic soils of the Mid-Coastal Sedimentary ecoregion (1g) to the west.

The forest cover of this ecoregion is more open than the neighboring Mid - Elevation Sedimentary Mountains (17g), where soil texture and water-holding capacity allows denser tree growth.

Sedimentary deposits in lotic systems are often poorly preserved compared to lentic systems, owing to the relatively greater reworking of most riverine deposits.

The mountainous Mid-Coastal Sedimentary ecoregion lies outside of the coastal fog zone and is typically underlain by massive beds of sandstone and siltstone in contrast to the volcanics of Ecoregion 1d.

The Precambrian-age metamorphic and sedimentary geologic materials are generally older and more metamorphosed than the Southern Sedimentary Ridges (66e) to the west and north.

The Sedimentary Subalpine Forests ecoregion occupies much of the western half of the Southern Rockies in Colorado, areas of the Sangre de Cristo Range in Colorado and New Mexico, and the western part of the Tusas Mountains in New Mexico.

The Sedimentary Mid-Elevation Forests ecoregion occurs in the western and southern portions of the Southern Rockies in Colorado and in several areas of the Rockies in New Mexico at elevations generally below Ecoregion 21e.
