Yosemite National Park, located in the Northern Sierra Nevada mountains of California, supports habitats ranging from wooded grassland, foothill chaparral, coniferous forests, and alpine rock. I will first explain the history of the park and the creation of these ecosystems, and then elaborate on each of the biomes Yosemite supports. I am looking forward to learning more about Yosemite National Park and all of the ways in which humans impact this vacation destination and wildlife sanctuary.
