Everything about The Sierra Madre Del Sur totally explained
The
Sierra Madre del Sur is a
mountain range in southern
Mexico, extending 1000 km from southern
Michoacán east through
Guerrero, to the
Istmo de Tehuantepec in eastern
Oaxaca. It joins with the
Eje Volcánico Transversal of central Mexico in northern Oaxaca, but is separated from this range further west by the valley of the
Río Balsas and its tributary the Río Tepalcatepec.
The highest point is 3703 m, located at in central Guerrero.
Although separated from the main part of the Sierra Madre del Sur by the deep canyon of the lower Río Balsas, the mountains of southern Michoacán around
Coalcomán are usually considered part of the Sierra Madre del Sur.
Ecology
The range is noted for its very high
biodiversity and large number of
endemic species.
The
Sierra Madre del Sur pine-oak forests occupy the higher reaches of the range. These forests are part of a chain of
pine-oak forests that stretch from the southwestern United States to Costa Rica along the
American Cordillera.
Lower elevations of the range are covered by
tropical dry forests. The
Jalisco dry forests occupy the western end of the range's Pacific slope. The
Southern Pacific dry forests occupy most of the Pacific slope of the range, from Michoacan in the west through Guerrero and Oaxaca. The basin of the Balsas River, north of the Sierra, is home to the
Balsas dry forests.
