Abstract

Abstract Aunique and enduring traditional land-use system still exists in northern Baja California’s Mediterranean grasslands, shrublands, oak woodlands, and conifer forests. This portion of the Californian floristic province has a pristine character rarely seen in Alta California, as the rural landscape remains little altered from the late eighteenth century, when Europeans first described it. Until recently, most of Baja California’s biological environment was not as intensively exploited as Alta California’s, despite the lack of effective formal protection for its wildlands. The region had expe-rienced only a few brief gold-mining strikes.
