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.

One example of a chaparral biome project in a box could be a diorama kit. It would include miniature figures of chaparral plants and animals, along with a backdrop depicting the characteristic landscape. This hands-on project allows students to learn about the plants and animals of the chaparral biome in a fun and interactive way.
The savanna biome is maintained by fire. Fire is essential for preventing the encroachment of trees and promoting the growth of grasses in the savanna ecosystem.
Chaparral is a term applied to a native plant community that historically has covered a large part of California. These woody plants, typically shrubs or small trees, are drought tolerant and have a number of other specialized adaptions that make them well suited to the climate and geology of California. Chaparral understory refers to the grasses, herbs and sub-shrubs that live beneath the larger shrubs.
In the chaparral biome, you can hike through the rugged terrain, observe diverse plant and animal species, go birdwatching, and learn about the unique adaptations of the plants and animals to the hot, dry climate.
Chaparral ecosystems. These environments are typically found in regions with Mediterranean climates, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Chaparral vegetation is well adapted to these conditions, with drought-resistant and fire-tolerant plants like evergreen spiny shrubs dominating the landscape.
Air Chaparral was created in 1980.
Chaparral Boats was created in 1965.
The animals of the chaparral range from elephants to condors and to kangaroos. They all have the ability to survive in an extreme climates like the chaparral. Some animals live in the chaparral year round, while others travel between the chaparral and other suitable biomes.
