Description
Excerpt from Vegetation Types of the San Bernardino Mountains
The area includes a diversity of environmental conditions, from alpine barrens to desert flats. Fire also has played a large role in determining the vegetation cover. Broadly speaking, the vegetation occurs in three general belts, or areas containing three distinct classes: brush, desert scrub, and forest.
Brush.-a mixture of many brush species, frequently known as Chaparral, occurs in the lower altitudes-roughly below feet mostly on the south or coastal side of the mountains and to a limited extent on the north side. The climate in this belt is characterized by hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. Combined with recurring fires, this kind of climate produces an environment favoring a brush cover.
