Chaparral-type ecosystems are a common element of all of the world’s Mediterranean-type climate regions – of which California is one – yet there is little public appreciation of the intrinsic value and the ecosystem services that these landscapes provide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eValuing Chaparral\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a compendium of contributions from experts in chaparral ecology and management, with a focus on the human relationship with chaparral ecosystems.
