The Central Basin and Range Ecoregion (Omernik, 1987; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1997) encompasses approximately 343,169 km\u00b2 (132,498 mi2) of land bordered on the west by the Sierra Nevada Ecoregion, on the east by the Wasatch and Uinta Mountains Ecoregion, on the north by the Northern Basin and Range and the Snake River Basin Ecoregions, and on the south by the Mojave Basin and Range and the Colorado Plateaus Ecoregions (fig. 1). Most of the Central Basin and Range Ecoregion is located in Nevada (65.4 percent) and Utah (25.1 percent), but small segments are also located in Idaho (5.6 percent), California (3.7 percent), and Oregon (0.2 percent). Basin-and-range topography characterizes the Central Basin and Range Ecoregion: wide desert valleys are bordered by parallel mountain ranges generally oriented northsouth. There are more than 33 peaks within the Central Basin and Range Ecoregion that have summits higher than 3,000 m (10,000 ft), but valleys in the ecoregion are also high, most having elevations above 1,200 m (4,000 ft) (Grayson, 1993).", "description": "Chapter 20: 9 p.", "publisher": {"@type": "Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "author": [{"@type": "Person", "name": "Soulard, Christopher E. csoulard@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Christopher E.", "familyName": "Soulard", "email": "csoulard@usgs.gov", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0002-5777-9516", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5777-9516"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Western Geographic Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/western-geographic-science-center"}]}], "funder": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Western Geographic Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/western-geographic-science-center"}], "spatialCoverage": [{"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "country", "name": "United States", "url": "https://geonames.org/6252001"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "state", "name": "California", "url": "https://geonames.org/5332921"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "state", "name": "Idaho", "url": "https://geonames.org/5596512"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "state", "name": "Nevada", "url": "https://geonames.org/5509151"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "state", "name": "Oregon", "url": "https://geonames.org/5744337"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "state", "name": "Utah", "url": "https://geonames.org/5549030"}, {"@type": "Place", "geo": [{"@type": "GeoShape", "additionalProperty": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "name": "GeoJSON", "value": {"type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [{"type": "Feature", "properties": {}, "geometry": {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[-120.5, 36.5], [-120.5, 43.5], [-111.0, 43.5], [-111.0, 36.5], [-120.5, 36.5]]]}}]}}}, {"@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": 40.0, "longitude": -115.75}]}]}
