Our Objective
Our objective for this project is to enlighten people on the harm that the human race is causing to the California Chaparral and obtain the outcome of a better preserved chaparral and keep the chaparral safe from development.
Climate
In the chaparral, the temperature ranges from 53° to 65° F in the coast range and 32° to 60° F in the mountains. Precipitation ranges from 12 to 40 inches per year, and comes down mostly as rain. Most of the rain falls in the fall, winter and spring. It increases with elevation. The snow that comes in winter melts fast. Frost and a little freezing weather occurs in the winter. The Chaparral biome contains all four seasons: winter, fall, spring, and summer. It is not uncommon for wild fires to occur in the chaparrals during the summer season due to the intense heat and sun beating down on this biome.
