James W. Bartolome, Barbara H. Allen-Diaz

Abstract


California’s diverse environments contribute to its status as an internationally recognized biodiver- sity hotspot (see Box 1) with more than 4,800 na- tive plants, 29% of which are endemic to the state. Approximately 1,000 native vertebrates occur in the state, including 125 federally or state-listed species.
