La vegetación más extendida en las dunas costeras es el matorral: mezquite, palo verde, gobernadora (larrea tridentata) y sangregado (una planta de la familia de las euforbiáceas). También Sonora cuenta con bosques mixtos de coníferas (se explotan especies maderables como el pino) y encinos (roble), selvas bajas (palo brasil, torote y mauto) y pastizales de aprovechamiento forrajero (zacate).
