TPNR SEC I

Adenostoma also known as Chamise are found on the chaparrals near the Torrey Pine Trails. These plant have an accumulated temperature of 93 to 268 ° F . It is very drought tolerant and adaptable, with the ability to grow in nutrient-poor, barren soil and on dry, rocky outcrops. Chaparral habitats are known for their periodical wildfires, and like other chaparral flora, chamise dries out, burns, and recovers quickly to thrive once again. It is a plant that controls erosion well, sprouting from ground level in low basal crowns that remain after fires, preventing the bare soil from being washed away.
