The Black Rock Desert is in the Central Basin and Range ecoregion at the edge of the Northern Basin and Range ecoregion and has two Level IV ecoregions: Lahontan Salt Shrub Basin and a non-shrub-steppe ecoregion, Lahontan Playa.
In the Dixie Valley watershed, the sub-ecoregions of Central Basin and Range ecoregion are a more complex example with shrubs on the slopes. The Dixie Valley watershed has a floor with elevation >3,000 ft (910 m) and, like the Black Rock Desert, has both the Lahontan Salt Shrub Basin and Lahontan Playa ecoregions. But additionally at higher elevations are the Dixie Valley's Lahontan Sagebrush Slope (west) and Central Nevada High Valley (east) ecoregions that transition to the mountainous Lahontan Upland and Central Nevada Mid-Slope Woodland & Brushland ecoregions (the latter's summits are Central Nevada Bald Mountain ecoregions).
