Detailed explanation-1: -The biggest threat to a chaparral biome is wild fires and human development. Also habitat destruction, air polution, water polution, climate change, and global warming. Also nutrient loading is another threat.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chaparral is a coastal biome with hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. The chaparral area receives about 38–100 cm (15–39 in) of precipitation a year. This makes the chaparral most vulnerable to fire in the late summer and fall.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chaparral is largely found in regions of California and northern Mexico with a climate similar to that of the Mediterranean area, characterized by hot dry summers and mild wet winters.

Detailed explanation-4: -The chaparral is characterized by sparse, rough terrain and nutrient-poor soil meaning that no single resource is overly abundant. Therefore, a varied diet allows an animal to make use of a wider selection of the resources that are available to it and thereby thrive.
