Environmental Problems
  • Urban development on chaparral lands that are
    fragile ecosystems and prone to fires and floods
  • The fire protection weakens slopes and causes
    land slides, and slope protection increases fire
    hazards
  • Probability of erosion if development continues

8
Potential Solutions
  • Wise planning and management by the government
    when developing houses and other buildings on
    chaparral land
  • Making sure the people living on the land
    understand the unpredictability of nature and
    respect the land and know their risk of life and
    property loss

9
Net Productivity
  • Coastal Chaparrals net productivity ranks
    somewhere between Tundra and Temperate Grassland
  • We estimate the productivity to be 1600
    kcal/m2/yr
