Naturally, desert chaparral experiences less winter rainfall than cismontane chaparral. Plants in this community are characterized by small, hard (sclerophyllic) evergreen (non-deciduous) leaves. Desert chaparral grows above California's desert cactus scrub plant community and below the pinyon–juniper woodland. It is further distinguished ...

Though adapted to infrequent fires, chaparral plant communities can be exterminated by frequent fires especially with climate change induced drought. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Today, frequent accidental ignitions can convert chaparral from a native shrubland to nonnative annual grassland and drastically reduce species diversity, especially under global ...
It typically takes three to six weeks for vegetation such as chaparral and coastal sage to soak up moisture from rainfall. ... Oct. 1 — just 9% of its typical average by this time of year ...
The average temperatures for the cool summer variations are below 71 °F (22 °C) in the summer and between 27–64 °F (−3–18 °C) in the winter. Average summer temperatures for the hot summer variation are above 71 °F (22 °C). Average annual precipitation for this climate is 25–100 inches (640–2,540 mm) per year.

Annual precipitation in the oak woodland range is 15 to 40 inches (0.38 to 1.02 m), with little precipitation in the summer. [8] Growing season is 6–10 months. [8] Temperatures range 75 to 96 °F (24 to 36 °C) in the summer, and 29 to 42 °F (−2 to 6 °C) in winter. [8]
The climate is Mediterranean, with mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers. [2] Almost all of the daily maximum temperatures lie between 16 and 27 °C (61 and 81 °F). [ 4 ] Mean annual precipitation is generally below 12 inches (300 mm), [ 4 ] although can be as high as 26 inches (660 mm) in the Santa Monica Mountains and hills around the Los ...
