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.
