 Southwest
In the Southwest, plant and animal distributions are affected by general climatic zones such as significant north-south gradients in temperature and precipitation.
The cessation of frequent natural surface fires all across the Southwest in the late 1800's apparently was due to reduced vegetation caused by intense grazing by livestock (Savage and Swetnam 1990; Swetnam 1990; Swetnam and Baisan 1996).
