Flora and Fauna in the chaparral biome

1. Flora Plants must be able to adapt to the heat,

humidity and poor soil slightly Most plants are small, hard leaves which are

able to maintain moisture. Examples of plants include blue oak, corn oak,

poison oak, stunted trees, shrubs, cacti.

Chamise, greasewood (Adenostoma fasciculatum, Rosaceae)

Semak belukar

Manzanita (Arctostaphylos sp.)

2. Fauna Most are animals and desert grassland types that can adapt to the hot and dry

weather. Birds make their nests in the ground to protect themselves from the heat and

predators. Furry animals have short fur that can change the length to suit the season or in

accordance with their environment. Reptiles hunt at night to avoid the heat. Example = coyote, desert lizards, mountain lions, foxes, feral goats, rattlesnakes,

praying mantis, and antelope.
