  Confronting Climate Change in California
Most of California's precipitation falls in winter, and in the future more of it is likely to fall as rain, less as snow, a change that is likely to lead to increased winter runoff and decreased summer stream flow.
California's natural ecosystems -- communities of plants and animals interacting in a physical environment -- span 10 different biological categories, ranging from the cool, wet redwood forests of the North Coast to the hot, dry Mojave and Colorado deserts of the southeast.
Although many California ecosystems are adapted for quick recovery from extreme events, increases in the frequency of such events could push some systems beyond their potential to recover.

In contrast, fire is not an ecological process in the Sonoran Desert or tropical communities to the south, and native trees, shrubs, and succulents are decimated by fire.
Fountaingrass mostly occurs on disturbed roadsides, rocky outcrops, canyons, and cliffs from 2000 to 3500 feet in the Sonoran Desert Region in Arizona.
Beargrass (Nolina microcarpa) and desert spoon (or sotol, Dasylirion wheeleri) are native succulents that grow in large clumps that are attractive in desert gardens and road medians.

 INDIANS of CALIFORNIA - Desert Interior - Overview
Life in the interior deserts of southern California was often difficult: the people had to contend with harsh winters, blistering hot summers, scanty rainfall, and, except for the transition zones between the desert and the southern coastal region, relatively few useful plants and animals.
When the first Euroamericans entered California's interior desert region it was populated by people who were exclusively gatherers-hunters, with plant food as the mainstay of subsistence, accounting for perhaps seventy percent of the diet.
The diversity of habitats (from marsh-like riparian to desert scrublands to mixed piñon-juiper woodlands to bristlecone-limberpine forests) and resources insured that no matter how conditions varied from year to year, some kinds of plants and animals would be available.

 SDNHM - Vizcaino Desert
The name Vizcaíno Desert was originally applied to the roughly triangular desert on the west coast of the central Baja California peninsula, just south of Vizcaíno Bay.
Shreve (1951) explains that the designation of this subdivision of the Sonoran Desert is an extension of the use of the name "Vizcaíno Desert," which has long been applied to the plains, which occupy the long triangular projection of the central peninsula.
In this zone the vegetation varies from a Mediterranean type climate to a desert climate that exhibits characteristics of both chaparral and desert habitats.

Most of the other Sonoran Desert habitats changed by water are in what are called riparian areas along rivers or other bodies of water such as springs and lakes.
But there are also dry washes or riverbeds called "dry riparian" or "desert riparian." Even though the wash in your neighborhood may carry water for only a few hours a year, it's still enough to support many plants and animals, especially birds.
"Fish are a special topic in the Sonoran Desert as far as I'm concerned because about two-thirds of the species are threatened or endangered," she said.

Until the final triumph of the multilane interstate system in the early 1960s, 2,300-mile-long Route 66 was the only automobile route between the Chicago shores of Lake Michigan and L.A.'s golden Pacific beaches.
California has a lengthy stretch of the original highway, many miles of which still proudly wear the designation "California State Highway 66." It's not just weed-split abandoned fltop, either.
As you cruise by, think of the days when our cars were an extension of our living rooms (with the great snacks Mom wouldn't allow at home), and the outdoor theaters were filled every summer evening by dusk.
