Chaparral is a shrubland or heathland plant community found primarily in the U. S. state of California and in the northern portion of the Baja California peninsula, Mexico.

* California coastal sage and chaparral: In coastal Southern California and northwestern coastal Baja California, as well as all of the Channel Islands off California and Guadalupe Island ( Mexico ).

Transmontane — Desert chaparral typically grows on the lower ( elevation ) northern slopes of the southern Transverse Ranges ( running east to west in San Bernardino and Los Angeles Counties ) and on the lower () eastern slopes of the Peninsular Ranges ( running south to north from lower Baja California to Riverside and Orange Counties and the Transverse Ranges ).

The idea that older chaparral is responsible for causing large fires was originally proposed in the 1980s by comparing wildfires in Baja California and southern California.
