etting
The Sierra Madre Oriental pine-oak forests are found on the higher elevations of the Sierra Madre Oriental range, which runs north and south between the Gulf Coastal Plain to the east along the Gulf of Mexico, and the Mexican Plateau to the west. The ecoregion covers an area of 65,600 square kilometers (25,300 square miles).
The southernmost forests transition to the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt pine-oak forests in Puebla state, near the southern end of the Sierra Madre Oriental. The forests extend almost continuously along the range through the states of Veracruz, Hidalgo, Queretaro, Guanajuato, San Luis Potosí, Tamaulipas, and Nuevo Leon. North of Monterrey, the forests become discontinuous, extending as a series of sky islands through the states of Nuevo Leon and Coahuila, and on into the Chisos and Davis mountains of the Big Bend region of western Texas. Other sky islands can be found on the higher peaks of the mountain ranges rising from the Mexican Plateau to the west.
