While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
  • The Los Ajos-La Madera Mountains are a mountain range located in northwestern Mexico.
  • The range is one of the dozens of “sky islands” in the southwestern US and northwestern Mexico.
  • A sky island is an isolated mountain range whose environment differs drastically from that of the surrounding lowlands.
  • The US Forest Service (USFS) said, “The mountains are ‘islands’ surrounded by deserts that are ‘seas.’”
  • The USFS said, “Each Sky Island is a unique ecosystem.”
