chaparral

Carbon capture capacity declines dramatically as forests are replaced by chaparral, undermining efforts to mitigate climate change.

Chief Patrick Butler, now chief of the Redondo Beach Fire Department, said that chaparral can burn underground without visible flames for weeks after the original fire has been knocked down.

Let’s break up landscape-sized monocultures of fuels, whether trees, chaparral or houses.

It’s both wild and city so there is a combination of rich chaparral, dirt, oak and sage combined with the concrete and freshwater raging in the winter after rain.

It typically takes three to six weeks for vegetation like chaparral and coastal sage to soak up moisture from rainfall, Hall said.
