chaparral organisms are adapted to hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. If people did not allow fires to burn in chaparrals, there would be no young pine trees, threrefore the animals would not have the trees for food, shelter, and space.

How are temperate grasslands and tropical savannas similar?
Chaparral is associated with a Mediterranean climate (e.g. Arizona) and Savanna is associated with a similar wet-dry climate. Both have prolonged dry periods allowing only weather-resistant plants to grow. Chaparral has "scrubby" like vegetation and Savanna is mostly grass. Neither have much tree growth.
What is the adaptations of a jack pine plant?
best adapted of all boreal confiers to fire .
Why do seeds need wild fires to survive?
Some species are adapted to wild fires. The seeds can not germinate until they have been exposed to fire. The seeds are NOT damaged by the fire and after the fire they sprout taking advantage of the space the fire has left and the minerals in the fire's ashes.
What are the order in which new organisms would return to a Savanna ecosystem after a fire?

How would a forest fire most likely help some organisms?
Fire burns away dead material and that allows more room for healthier regrowth
Which of these biomes is maintained by fire?

What bad things occur in the chaparral biome?

Fire-tolerant plants belong to the chaparral biome?

What is the meaning of chaparral?
Chaparral refers to a type of ecosystem/biome. They are dominated by dense, spiny, evergreen shrubs. They are midlatitude coastal areas with mild, rainy winters and long, hot, dry summers. Plants of the chaparral are adapted to and dependent on periodic fires - frequently ignited by lightning and by careless human activities. Some of these shrubs produce seeds that will germinate only after a hot fire. Food reserves stored in their fire-resistant roots enable them to resprout quickly and use nutrients released by fires.

Drought and fire tolerant evergreen spiny shrubs are characteristic of?
chaparral Definition of Chaparral: a dense growth of shrubs or small trees your welcome, JC
Do fire-tolerant plants belong to the chaparral biome?
Yes, because of hot and dry summers, periodic fires are an important abiotic factor in the Chaparral biome. Because of this, many plants will develop fire resistant mechanisms to survive.

How do fires help chaparral biomes?
Fires help the Chaparral by "refreshing" the vegetation that grows there. Some plants can only grow and germinate when a fire occurs. They are called "fire anuuals." An example is the herbaceous species.The Chaparral vegetation(ex. shrubs) have 4 different strategies to survive a fire:1. Obligate resprouters. These plants survive fires by resprouting only e.g. Toyon and Scrub Oak.2. Obligate seeders. The adult plants die in the fire. Seeds receive a fire cue and then germinate e.g. Ceanothus.3. Fire followers. These annual plants require some fire cue for germination..4. Facultative seeders: The adult plant resprounts and a fire cue enhances seed germination.
