  • it is also found everywhere in California, not just in LA

    I know cuz I saw some in Norcal

  • Where in the world did this come from?

    This looks like a student film project...but for what type of class, I wonder? Certainly not a biology or ecology class. The information regarding the fire regimes in relation to the chaparral is COMPLETELY inaccurate.

  • So, instead of becoming "trashy" or unproductive, as some have claimed, thirty-year-old chaparral is actually just beginning a new cycle of life.

  • Chaparral DOES NOT need fire to "renew" and clean out "built-up" vegetation. As an ecosystem, chaparral does not "need" fire to remain healthy. Old-growth chaparral continues to be productive, growing fresh, new growth in its upper canopy every year. In fact, some chaparral plants require the leaf litter and shade provided by older chaparral stands for their seeds to germinate successfully.
