Exotic species of California deserts
Kemp PR and Brooks ML. 1998. Exotic species of California deserts. Fremontia. 26(4):30-34
Exotic plant species, such as Eurasian annuals in the Mojave and Sonoran (Colorado) Deserts are rather small in comparison to other regions of California, but several species are increasing in abundance and range. Most exotic species apparently first entered the California deserts during the middle to latter part of the nineteenth century, following the Gold Rush of 1849.
