In the Chaparral biome, the dry, woody shrubs are commonly ignited by lightning and careless human activities. This causes brushfires in the summer and autumn because it is very densly poplated with the shrubs. Some of the shurbs are adapted to fire; they produce seeds that only germinate after they are burned. Also, some shurbs have the adaptation of fire resistent roots. These contain food reserves that allow the roots to resprout quickly and use mineral nutrients released by the fire. The shrub's niche is to repopulate the area after the fire occurs. Its adaptations allow it to do so. TEXTBOOK [|Lemurs] go down to the bottom of it's page to the section titled __Conservation and Ecology__
