Desert Biosphere Reserve, Biosphere reserve in Pine Valley, Utah, United States.
The Desert Biosphere Reserve spans 87 square miles of arid land, featuring Great Basin shrub steppe vegetation and single-leaf pinyon juniper woodlands.
President Herbert Hoover established this experimental range in 1933, and UNESCO designated it as a biosphere reserve in 1976 until its withdrawal in 2017.
The reserve contributes to scientific understanding through extensive research programs focused on desert ecology, agricultural practices, and ecosystem management.
Located 40 miles west of Milford, the reserve includes research facilities and architectural elements constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
The site combines mountain ranges and desert basins at 5,587 feet elevation, creating specific conditions for studying arid ecosystem interactions.
