Regeneration Potential of Chilean Matorral After Fire: An Updated View

  • Chapter
Book cover Fire and Climatic Change in Temperate Ecosystems of the Western Americas

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 160))

Conclusion

At a global scale it is attractive to assume that global warming would have highly similar effects on ecosystem structure and function in the five regions of Mediterranean-type ecosystems. Indeed, the similarity of these ecosystems is commonly attributed to the similarity of their climates, and it is not unreasonable to assume that similar patterns of climate change will lead to similar ecological changes in these ecosystems. However, the comparison in this chapter of Chilean matorral and Californian chaparral demonstrates the importance of fine-scale differences in the plant adaptations and history of human impact that are likely to affect future responses to climate change. Differences in the role of fire in the regeneration ecology of these two regions are likely to result insignificantly different outcomes of climatically induced ecological change.
