Chaparral

1.Flowering plant (bush type plant with yellow flowers) I am unsure of the exact species of this plant, but it has small leaves which allow for better water retention in a dry climate like the chaparral.

1. Common Pill-bug is brownish grey in color which allows it to blend it with the dry surroundings of the chaparral.
2. Flowering plant (small white flowers) this plant had small leaves and a woody stem. The small leaves would help for water retention in a dry climate like the chaparral.
3. Coast Live Oak has leaves that are adapted for absorbing sunlight, a dry and open climate like a chaparral gives it plenty of opportunities to do so. The tree also thrives on coastal fog, which allows it to survive in drier climates. Chaparral near the coast, which is what I observed, makes for a great climate for coast live oak.
4. California Poppy is a drought tolerant flowering plant. Because it does not need a lot of water to grow, it is often found in the dry chaparral.
