A problem with the article exists in that it states, indirectly, that Pinyon and Juniper grow in the desert. While I find that many people do identify this as desert, more academically, desert is defined as 10 inches of annual precipitation or less. Since pinyon needs more than 10 inches of precipitation in most soils, pinyon cannot grow in the desert. Juniper only occasionally grows in desert climates in marginally moist desert climates. Woodland vegetation is very rare in deserts, and I think Wupatki National Monument in Arizona may cover some of the only true Desert Woodland in the world (on account of unusual water retention in Sunset Crater cinders). I propose that the word "woodland-steppe" or simply "steppe" be used in place of desert. This would be very helpful to me as I am attempting to identify three major climate zones in Northern Arizona. The pinyon-juniper woodland steppe is the most extensive climate region in my state. The Woodland-Steppe exists between the Ponderosa Pine Forest and the Great Basin Desert. Thank you.
