Informal term for certain areas in California, US
The Low Desert (colloquially referred to as the Desert within the region) is a common name for any
desert in
California that is under 2,000 feet (609.6 m) in altitude. These areas include, but are not exclusive to, the
Colorado Desert and
Yuha Desert branches of the
Sonoran Desert, in the far southeasternmost portion of
Southern California. The Low Desert is distinguished in
biogeography from the adjacent northern
High Desert or
Mojave Desert by latitude, elevation, animal life, climate, and
native
plant communities.
