Chaparral
By Hannah, Kayla,
Shamalee
Found in only
5 regions of the world
I’d pay attention to
this if I were you 
Summer:
Winter:
mild
hot
Moist (not rainy)
dry
+
30-100 degrees F
17 inches rain/yr
•Seeds lie dormant until fire
•Hairy leaves collect moisture from air
•Obligate resprouters use root systems
•Obligate seeders destroyed in fire depend on seedlings to replace
them
Common Plants
•Include scrub oaks,
chamiso shrubs,
pines, cork and olive
trees
•Shrubbery
everywhere
•Primary producers
Common Animals

Threats
 Cutting down trees=no shelter
 Human activities
Animal Adaptations
 Temperature changes
 Rough terrain
 Scarce food supplies after drought
 Nocturnal=too hot during the day
Abiotic Factors
 Mild winters
 Hot & dry summers
 Fires
 Nutrient poor soil
 Rocks
 Sunlight
Symbiotic Relationships

Predator--Prey
Commensalism
Competition
Mutualism
Keystone Species
What do these little
creatures do?
Ecological services
Shrubbery
 Ease storm water runoff
 Reduce erosion
 Keep streams clean
Resource Partitioning
 Introducing new species will result in
coexistence
Economic services
 Source of cleaner water for community
 Portrays where worst fires are
