Five Habitats of San Diego

There are five major habitats in San Diego and all can be discovered at Mission Trail Regional Park. These habitats are defined by specific indicator species such as Willow trees that are associated with Riparian habitat. The other four habitats are Oak Woodland, Grasslands, Chaparral, and Coastal Sage Scrub. Each of these habitats represent a diverse plant community with unique characteristics and functions that when combined create a complex ecosystem of plants, animals, and insects.
