Abstract
Abstract: Chaparral is the most extensive vegetation type in California, covering over onetwentieth of the State or some 13.2 million acres (5.34 million ha). For thousands of years the vegetation in Southern California had very little impact from human use and activity, but in the past three decades this situation has changed with the increasing population. There are over 13 million people now living in Southern California. Eighty years of maintenance management of chaparral lands have generally resulted in extensive areas of decadent or very mature vegetation that is highly flammable and virtually impenetrable to wildlife, livestock, and man.
